Your question raises a complex issue rooted in social class dynamics, gender roles, and mental health, particularly as they relate to middle-class women in traditional or hierarchical societies like many in South Asia.

Let's break this down historically and sociologically:

1. When Did This Begin? — Historical Roots

Pre-modern Era
Women in all classes were confined to domestic roles, but middle-class women were expected to maintain strict "dignity" and decorum, often with little outlet for personal growth or voice.
Lower-class women worked in fields, homes, or markets — often interacting freely (though harshly) with male employers, including from upper classes.
Colonial to Post-colonial Transition
Middle-class morality became stricter — women were expected to be the cultural bearers of "honor," leading to emotional suppression, low autonomy, and increased psychosomatic illnesses.
Lower-class women were still seen as workers, entertainers, or even exploited, but paradoxically had more social mobility in some contexts due to labor freedom.
2. Why Are Middle-Class Women Often More Prone to Mental/Physical Illness?

Trapped Between Expectations:
Too respectable to rebel, but not free enough to express.
No servants like elite women, but no relief through employment like working-class women.
Expected to raise children, care for in-laws, manage finances — often alone and emotionally unacknowledged.
Common Illness Patterns:
Depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and hormonal imbalance
Often dismissed as "overthinking" or "too emotional"
Not taken seriously by male family members or even doctors
3. Abuse & Neglect — Domestic Sphere

Middle-class homes often hide emotional and verbal abuse:
Husbands stressed about status or finance may misdirect anger
Children may disrespect mothers influenced by external media or toxic male figures
Religious guilt, duty, and silence make women less likely to speak out
4. Meanwhile… in Lower & Upper Classes

Class Female Dynamics
Lower class Hardship, yes — but emotional outlet, community support, less guilt in pleasure
Upper class Access to therapy, freedom to travel, engage in elite social circles — less shame in seeking joy
Middle class Maximum pressure, minimal release — afraid of scandal, judgment, and failure
5. How It's Going Now (2020s–2025)

Mental health awareness is growing, but middle-class women are still:
Less likely to seek therapy (due to stigma or cost)
Expected to “sacrifice” for family more than others
Social media creates unrealistic comparisons, making middle-class women feel:
Not rich enough to live freely
Not poor enough to complain
Not “liberated” enough to be heard
6. What Can Be Done?

Personal Level:
Encourage peer support networks (women’s circles, local therapy groups)
Provide free access to mental health apps or counselors, especially in regional languages
Cultural Level:
Campaigns to show that mental health is not a luxury
Role-models: Middle-class women speaking up without fear of "shame"
System Level:
School and college education for girls on boundaries, self-care, and expression
Local government or CSR funding for urban-rural mental health hotlines or clinics
