The incidence of depression among women is much higher than that of men, which can be due to the existence of gender-based discrimination against society or false beliefs.
Although it is not possible to influence the other factors in the incidence of depression, it should generally be acknowledged that treating depression in women or favoring conditions for not getting into it can leave many positive effects in society and the family.
A university lecturer in connection with an increase in depression in women says:
There is depression in men and women, but in some societies, depression among women is much higher than that of men. For example, in metropolises, women's depression is relatively less than the rate of depression in women living in villages or cities that do not have the necessary economic and social growth, and women do not have a high social status.
Referring to the above, Ramasht adds: "Everywhere women have a more solid social role and be more active, they will naturally be less likely to be depressed." "The research shows that housewives are more depressed and anxious than working women, the main reason being the lack of or lack of social and economic activity," he said.
Asked why women are more likely than men to have depression, the psychologist says the root causes of this issue are related to the physical aspects of women and men. For example, women undergo hormonal changes during their menstruation during the month, which is a percentage of anxiety and depression. This also causes more depression in women. According to available statistics, about 30-40% of women who give birth also develop depression, which is due to hormonal changes that occur in the female body.
"The most important reason for women's depression can be sought in their social role," he said. If women can make use of their situation or situation and have a social or economic role, they are less likely to develop depression. In general, being positive, effective, and feeling helpful for themselves or others can be effective in reducing the incidence of depression among women.
Ramasht, the role of women in women in relation to men in society is one of the other reasons for women's depression: According to surveys, when women have a lower role in society, the rate of depression among them It also increases strangely.
