Depression Help - Depression does not discriminate: Age and Gender in Depression

Depression does not discriminate: Age and Gender in Depression

Because it is misunderstood, childhood depression is often misdiagnosed. Childhood depression goes far beyond just being sad. A depressed child loses interest in things they normally enjoy doing, wants to be alone and rarely laughs aloud.

Depression in teenagers/adolescents is pretty common. Teenage girls are at higher risk of becoming depressed than boys. Depressed teens tend to exhibit anti-social behavior and many abuse drugs, alcohol and/or smoke.

Depression later in life is not easily identified because many diseases that affect the elderly mask the symptoms of depression. Unlike in other age groups, older persons (over 60) suffer from depression are more likely to commit or try to commit suicide.

Depression Help - Women and Depression: Recognizing the Signs and Finding Your Way Back

Women and Depression: Recognizing the Signs and Finding Your Way Back

Depression is caused from a chemical imbalance in the brain. Hormonal fluctuation during the reproductive years also contributes to women being more prone to periods of depression.

Some risk factors for depression in women include poverty, high stress jobs, family history of depression or other mental disorders, a history of childhood abuse (sexual or physical), and losing a parent in early puberty.

Surprisingly, depression seems to affect more married women than single women.
