Throughout the world, rates of depression are greater among females
than males, and this gender gap emerges during adolescence and
persists throughout adulthood. Until recently, women's health has
centered on the topic of reproductive health, because research
focused almost exclusively on biological and anatomical differences
distinguishing men and women. Social and behavioral research on
gender differences in health now employs multiple disciplinary
frameworks and methodologies, and researchers seek to understand
the higher rates of specific diseases and disorders in women and
men. Symptoms of depression and the diagnosis of depression are
more prevalent in women, and research that focuses on biological,
psychological, and sociopolitical explanations for this gender gap
should now be brought together to better inform efforts at
treatment and prevention. Women and Depression is a handbook that
serves to move toward a more integrative approach to women's
depression in particular and mental health for all more generally.
