The present study "Relationship between sex roles and mental disorders" analyses the various findings of research regarding the sex roles and mental problems. All these findings reveal that the women whether they work outside or not, face various mental problems especially functional psychosis and neurosis. This finding is also proved by the research of National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) of U.S.A. They analysed the admissions and the treatment give for the psychologically affected persons in various hospitals and came across more women patients than the men. The research also formulates some possible suggestions to curb the mental disorders among the women.
