Q

Depression risk factors

A

GENDER PREVALENCE: DEPRESSION IS MORE PREVALENT IN WOMEN THAN IN MEN BY ABOUT 2 TO 1.
AGE: DEPRESSION IS MORE COMMON IN YOUNG
WOMEN THAN IN YOUNG MEN. THE GENDER DIFFERENCE IS LESS PRONOUNCED BETWEEN AGES 44 AND 65, BUT AFTER AGE 65, WOMEN ARE AGAIN MORE LIKELY TO BE DEPRESSED THAN ARE MEN.
SOCIAL CLASS: THERE IS AN INVERSE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL CLASS AND REPORT OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS. LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC GROUPS HAVE MORE DEPRESSION
RACE: NO CONSISTENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RACE AND AFFECTIVE DISORDER HAS BEEN REPORTED. ONE RECENT SURVEY REVEALED: DEPRESSION IS MORE PREVALENT IN WHITES THAN IN BLACKS. DEPRESSION IS MORE SEVERE AND DISABLING IN BLACKS. BLACKS ARE LESS LIKELY TO RECEIVE TREATMENT THAN ARE WHITES.
MARITAL STATUS: SINGLE AND DIVORCED PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE DEPRESSION THAN ARE MARRIED PERSONS OR PERSONS WITH A CLOSE INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP.
SEASONALITY: AFFECTIVE DISORDERS ARE MORE PREVALENT IN THE SPRING AND IN THE FALL
