Why Twice As Many Women As Men Get Depression?
02/24/2009
Cleaning out my inbox I came across an email from the Mayo Clinic and I thought the subject matter would be of interest to the PEERtrainer community. The subject of the article in the email was "why do twice as many women as men experience depression"?
The basic answer to the question made sense- hormones, biology, work stress, maybe abuse as a child. It also seemed a little clinical and didn't really go into how to not be depressed. The conflicts modern women face have been talked about since Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth.
What are your thoughts on this subject- how have you overcome various levels of depression?
