Psychosocial causes of depression
J Gend Specif Med.
1999 Nov-Dec.
Abstract
Research has consistently determined that women have higher rates of depression than men. It is possible that the sex ratio of depression incidence varies according to time and place, and that this variation is a reflection of women's variable social circumstances. However, further research is needed to determine a convincing explanation for women's greater susceptibility to depression.
