I was wondering if you guys could help me out for a second. I'm doing a oral in heatlh class about Depression and according to the infomation I found more women become depressed then men. There's a 2 to 1 ratio.
So I was wondering if that was true. So if you have ever had sometime of mood disorder could you answer male or female. Thanks |

Well, they say as intelligence goes up, happiness tends to go down...
So many bimbos at my school though... Hrmm.. I personally don't/can't answer this, as everyone goes through depression. (Even Jesus, I mean... after being whipped, how would you feel?) |

Apparently from my own observations, women seem more prone to depression than men. I'm no expert on the subject, but I have found this to be true. I could go on without end about why I think this happens, but like I said, I'm no expert. Just chalk it up to yes, you're correct.

Well it is statistically true woman are more prone to depression but what throws a ball curve to make men more depressed then women is PTSD especially after coming back from a war zone. Right now almost every solider thats been to Iraq or Afghanistan have been diagnosed with PSTD, especially soldiers on the front lines like infantry and tankers. It all depends on the situation that a person is placed in and so in some situations women will be in the dominate group or men would be in a dominate group of having a bad case of depression.

I would definitely say Women. They seem to get depressed easier and faster.

Alot of people would say women, but i think that alot of men get depressed as well. they might not show it, or it can even be overlooked because men are "tough" and no one worrys about that kind of thing with guys

I would say definitely women. I'm not sure why this is or whatever but I just think it's women.

Hm... The men are considered as the more workful gender, and who works more, experiences more. So I think the men should be more depressed.
Also if you study... I get depressed often when go to the exams  And I think the girls are more resistible to the school challenges.
