Is it true that Women are more prone to Depression !

Of course , all women are not prone to depression, but certain hormonal changes make them more prone to depression especially during pregnancy and child birth and domestic violence ...

You would be surprised to note that even men go through those 4-5 days every month when they feel depression. Now don't start making statements, which might make me sound funny but that is a scientific fact that men too men feel depressed for a couple of days every month and these are the days when they act more erratic, depressed and bored.

I know I know :P , and I understand too that men have their own days ...
Depression can be overcome by some simple and effective measures like , being positive,maintaining a healthy balance between work and leisure and keeping oneself mentally engaged all the time in some activity or the other ..[/quote]

Its true that men too go through such cycles but it is less visible and erratic, angry, bored etc. behavior from men is accepted so this depression mostly goes unnoticed, unless they are suicidal, of course!![/quote]

This is less visible because men do not want to make it visible, otherwise also men are better equipped to handle situations like these. You'll agree to that, that men are far tougher while it comes to handle problems. Although I agree SOME women are as tough ( I shall always play safe)[/quote]

:laugh: :laugh: Ha ha ha! you keep on playing safe!! But isn't that what makes men more suicidal than women, I did read it somewhere and the reason is that women are able to share their troubles easily with friends and relatives that helps remove stress a bit but men usually keep their troubles to themselves![/quote]

It's true...
May be because in their busy schedules of modern life, men can't find good friends with whom they can share their problems.

Social environment affects human mind. Women are sensitive and emotional. Still she can face all types of situations. She can recover from any depression soon which is not possible for a man. Mostly the heart patients are males and few are females.

That is right, female are better stress managers than their male counterpart therefore less prone to problems like heart attack etc.

does it mean, being emotional gives woman more (mental) power to fight against sorrows and depressions? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

That is considered very healthy for your mental state since you are literally letting off steam which otherwise would be stressful, further adding to the distress level , probably even making way for depression ...I see most people becoming calm after they have screamed and shouted and abused, but , how it effects the person at the receiving end is quite another matter ! :dry: :blink:

So true, sometimes you just get tired of trying to balance everything and trying not to hurt others at the same time, it is just too frustrating. I too sometimes let myself go out of control and don't think of damage at that time, there is time for damage control later. But it is much needed at that time.

Just imagine when that happens with women , I have seen such incidents when women tear at each other and it really is a sight ! The best thing to do when you feel stressed is to look for a calm and quiet place and sit for a while without dooing anyhing until your system cools down, then plan your next course of action ! :huh: :dry: easy to say right ?!!! :S

I agree, easy to say because when it comes to as serious as that his is hard to resist and it almost always end up with a men to men. I try to keep away from such ugly scenario. Rather I never stay around where there is slightest of possibility of such a scene.

LOL , i used to think that happens only in caveman kind of films and in fish markets where women do get into some terrible fight, and they start throwing everything including fish water,I got splashed once :P I went around for a week feeling that people were avoiding me because of the stink ...But I came across such a fight happening between two so called cultured upper class madames and the choice of language was really something , later they began pushing each other,with one of them slipping and falling down.. all because of a table reservation at a restaurant ,,,

So that is common in ladies as well, oh yes I ca recall some shows pulling each others hair the best weapon used by women. :laugh:

Did it happen on Big Boss once ? i am not sure though !!!! :unsure:...No wonder at the end of a massive fight, they go into a depression and take weeks to recover.When ones emotional graph wavers at such high sped what else can be expected ? :P

Yes you are right. It is because of ladies think more. Often House Wife's more prone to depression

Yes you are right. It is because of ladies think more. Often House Wife's more prone to depression

It is not just thinking but many other factors that bring on depression in women esp housewives ....they tend to feel that their role as housewives is almost like that of a glorified maid in most middle class families where finance is a constraint !

Women are more emotional and less practical. They are the more sensible gender. They keep things close to their heart so its natural for them to get depressed easily.

That is the biological aspect,there are social aspects as well which makes a woman feel depressed.It could also be hereditary in some cases or due to a loss of a loved one which women tends affect women far more than men.It can also manifest itself when the lady is bored in life and is not doing enough to keep herself engaged in a positive manner..
