We’ll start with a simple thing as Alcohol abuse. Although it is observed that men are more likely to be dependent on alcohol and also that that they abuse the substance a lot more, it can be seen that a significant number of women do that too. If we take the case of the United States of America, it can be observed that 5.3 million women put their health at risk by abusing alcohol.

It has been found that women who abuse alcohol intake put themselves at a greater risk of breast cancer, heart diseases and a condition called foetal alcohol syndrome. This is a condition in which the brain of the foetus is damaged due to the excessive consumption of alcohol by the mother during pregnancy.

The instances of women dying of a heart disease are greater than men dying of it. Unfortunately, this is a directed result of a greater delay in the identification and treatment of a heart disease in women. Similarly the cases of depression are also found to be more among women. It could be because of a variation in the life that a woman leads. We must understand the need to take extra care of women and give them the attention they need.
