"Why Are You So Emotional?" is a podcast about mental health, focused specifically on anxiety and depression and their presence in women. Statistics say that women are twice as likely to develop anxiety and depression than men, so I thought I would explore this fact and try to understand why that might be. To do this, I interviewed three women of different ages, Kirsten, Jessy, and Jeanne, who have experienced depression and/or anxiety at some point in their lives, about their experiences. I also spoke with registered clinical psychologist Dr. Phyllis Dawson to get some professional insight into anxiety and depression. 

​

I hope that this podcast can be a resource for people who are experiencing depression and/or anxiety or for people who think they might know friends or family who is experiencing anxiety and/or depression.
