Types of Depression Unique to Women by Jane Framingham, Ph.D. February 17, 2006 In addition to the major types of depression that affect men and women, women also suffer from unique types of depression due to their special physiology and hormones. Estrogen, the “female sex hormone,” affects more than 300 functions in a woman’s body including regulating menstrual cycles, protecting the heart and maintaining strong bones. The fluctuating levels of estrogen during menstrual cycles, pregnancy and menopause may impact mood and, in severe cases, trigger depressive episodes. Unfortunately, these types of depressive episodes in women and girls often are blamed on “being moody,” “that time of the month,” or “the change” and go untreated.

I have wondered why women suffer significantly from depression. I do think studies show a high percentage. I do think with treatment, there is great hope! Thank you for the links! Awesome!
