MENTAL HEALTH AFFECTED BY ROMANCE
Romantic break-ups are bad for mental health and women take them harder, according to a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
The study finds the mental health of both men and women is best in long-term relationships, but men do even better cohabiting, the Web site Scotsman.com reports.
"Relationships for men are more about support, practical and emotional, but for women it is very important to be in a committed relationship -- a marriage," says Dr. Michaela Benzeval of Queen Mary University of London.
The study also finds women who stayed single enjoyed much better mental health than those who had married or suffered a relationship split.
