Does Depression Affect Women Differently?

From hormones to abuse and other factors, women are more prone to depression than men. Women experience certain symptoms of depression with greater frequency than men. But that’s not the only way the genders differ when it comes to depression. While men are more likely to express the causes for their unhappiness, women more often hold them in.
