Why are so many women I'm meeting having mental health issues?

Women race around thinking about work, kids, sports, health, the house, the yard, the nanny, the days off school/vacations, gifts to buy, insurance, meal planning, family schedule planning, clothes that fit everyone, play dates, school deadlines and homework, etc.

It’s overwhelming and then to have a cluesless partner would put anyone in the loony house!

Don’t paint us all with that brush because your husband or ex was a total loser. I do ALL that and more.

So piss off.

My DH does a ton of stuff - I seriously worry what I would do if something happened to him.

Most of the women I've met have just been casual dates but what stands out for me is that so many of them reveal that they're one of the three: bipolar, depressed, or anxious. And I mean clinically diagnosed and been prescribed meds and all that. These are women in their thirties and also forties. It's just so common it blows my mind. Needless to say, I haven't felt comfortable going forward with many of these women I've met. Just too much for me to process. I have plenty of guy friends who also mention that their wives or girlfriends are seeking therapy or taking meds to cope with some mental health diagnosis. But no guy I know has ever mentioned being depressed or anxious. I'm not saying these conditions don't ever affect men, but it just seems so common among women. Any ideas why? I'd like to meet someone eventually who won't go crazy on me.

Move to a saner city or country.

Psycho meds are a fad. They don't work. People used to smoke now they pop pills. It's like in the old days when they bled people with leaches and it was medically approved. Once it falls out of favor and is deemed loserish everybody will pretend they never did it.

+1 My DH, too. HE ROCKS!!!

However, I never thought “man child” types were cute, so I pretty quickly weeded out less-capable men during the dating process.
