Sexual harassment at workplace causing women depression

A study has recently revealed that women who experience sexual harassment at work are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression, eating disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study also found that in order to cope with the situation, these female victims also resort to drink and drugs.

The findings suggested that although most victims are women, still the number of complaints by men have risen by more than 15 per cent in just 15 years.

However, the results also found that male victims do not find their experiences as anxiety-provoking as females and nor do they see it as bothersome, stressful or upsetting as females.
