Depression affects more women than men.
According to Mental Health America, women are 70% more likely than men to have depression and about 1 in 8 US women develop clinical depression in their lifetimes.
Part of this discrepancy may be because men do not report their symptoms as easily as women do, but that may not be the full picture.
Women deal with different hormonal make-up than men and are prone to episodes of depression at critical points across their lifespan.
At puberty, and then each month during menses, during pregnancy and childbirth and again at peri-menopause and menopause, women go through major fluctuations in hormones that can be a contributing factor to bouts of depression.
