Depression is a mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, and it can manifest differently in women and men. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that women have a higher likelihood of experiencing depression compared to men. Depression can affect anyone, but it can present itself in different ways depending on one’s gender. In this article, we will discuss the different ways depression manifests in women and men, the causes of depression in each gender, and how it can be treated.
Gender Differences in Depression:
