This paper explores the often-overlooked issue of mental health among Uzbek women, shedding light on the cultural, social, and psychological factors that shape their emotional well-being. In a society where discussing mental health remains taboo, many women suffer in silence due to stigma, gender expectations, and lack of access to mental health services. The study aims to uncover the hidden struggles faced by women across different age groups and social backgrounds, emphasizing how traditional roles, family pressure, and limited autonomy contribute to anxiety, depression, and emotional burnout. By analyzing recent data, expert opinions, and personal narratives, the paper calls for a shift in public discourse and highlights the urgent need for mental health awareness, support systems, and policy reform. This research serves as a foundation for developing culturally sensitive approaches to improving mental health care for Uzbek women.
