Part 1
While studying any mental disorder gender is considered as one of the most important factors. Typically, females are more prone to mental disorders that include depression and anxiety. This is due to the socioeconomic factor and male dominance that cause these disorders.
Approximately 1 out of 3 women have mental disorders. Another factor that is associated with depression in women is hormones. As compared to men women experience much more hormonal imbalances due to puberty, pregnancy, etc (Kessler) and they tend to connect emotionally in their relationships causing them to suffer from depression more than men.
However, as in our society men are considered strong this causes men to not to talk about any mental disorder whereas women are more likely to consult psychiatrists and counselors to get their depression treated.
Most of the research conducted on depression have shown that women and girls are twice as likely to depress than men and boys because women and girls are sensitive by nature and can connect to everything in their surrounding emotionally and very conscious about their appearance thus making them extremely vulnerable to depression (Noble).
