Abstract

According to the projections of the United Nations Population Division, by 2030, more people in the developing world will live in urban than rural areas; by 2050, two-thirds of its population is likely to be urban. Socioeconomic stress is considered to be affecting mental health of women.Results of randomized control trials involving individual or group counseling sessions led by community health workers or nurses, either as the principal intervention or in combination with inexpensive drug therapies have indicated the role of counseling intervention among women (Ricardo Araya et al., 2007,Vikram Patel et al., 2003).
