Can Men and Women Experience Different Symptoms of Depression?
Men and women can experience depression differently due to biological factors like hormonal disparities as well as sociocultural expectations. Here are some statistics and generalizations that might be helpful in identifying depression in the sexes:
- Women are almost twice as likely as men to develop major depression, though rates are similar for boys and girls before puberty sets in.
- Men are more likely to display “externalizing symptoms” of depression while women are more likely to display “internalizing symptoms.” This means that a man might act angry or lash out when he’s depressed, while a woman might turn inward with self-hating thoughts.
- Depressed men tend struggle more than women with drugs and alcohol abuse.
- Women experience feelings of guilt more than men when they’re depressed.
Thriveworks counselors in Vancouver, WA can also treat depression in people who are transgender or nonbinary. No one deserves to suffer from the pain of depression.
