Every time an article about depression is published, the number of views is relatively high, although this does not represent the large number of depression groups, but it can show that many readers are more concerned about the topic of depression, and even most people may have depression or even depression.
Women are more likely to be depressed than men
Biological factors
Hormone levels in women fluctuate more easily than in men. This fluctuation is particularly pronounced during these periods of childbearing (prenatal/postnatal depression) and menopause, which are associated with a high risk of developing depression.
Psychological factors
Women think more than men. Thinking, while a good thing, can also make them vulnerable to depression. And what men often encounter is anger and substance abuse.
Girls are more likely to develop depression than we think
There is a very pessimistic reality: women have a higher chance of depression than men.
There are many reasons for this. Women themselves are a sensitive animal, and changes in hormone secretion during menstruation and postpartum can easily lead to elusive turbulence in women's emotions.
In recent years, there have been many social events in which postpartum depression has led to family tragedies, both physiological factors and the influence of family environment.
Second, women value and invest in emotions much more than men. Therefore, in the matter of lost love, men often turn the page lightly, while women are trapped in an emotional black hole and cannot extricate themselves.
Sometimes we mistakenly think that women are emotional, which may be a precursor to depression.
From depression to depression, it's not as far away as we think. Although frustration in a relationship and poor work can lead to a bad mood, it does not necessarily mean that it will lead to depression, but if it lasts for a long time, and it affects work and life, then it is necessary to be careful that it may be a disease.
And people with certain personalities need to pay special attention to preventing the occurrence of depression. For example, introverted and sensitive people, people who always suppress their true emotions, and people who do not love or are not used to expressing emotions are often more likely to let this negative emotion be stuffed in the heart.
