Personality disorders are often diagnosed more frequently in women due to a combination of social, cultural, and biological factors. Women may be more likely to seek help for emotional and psychological issues, leading to higher diagnosis rates. Additionally, certain personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, may be influenced by societal expectations and gender roles that affect emotional expression and interpersonal relationships. However, it's important to note that some disorders may be underdiagnosed in men, complicating the overall understanding of prevalence.

A woman also experiences more changes in her body (pregnancy, for example) that can fuel body dislike and eating disorders. Women also tend to be more critical of each other than men are to each other. This harshness or bullying can lead to low self esteem and eating disorders, too.
