Depression is a normal response as part of our daily lives such as
the loss of s job, the death of a love one, and illness. Over 30 million
Americans suffer from depression and the amount is increasing in an
alarming rate. Depression may be a mental health disorder that can
affect the way you eat, sleep, and the way you feel about yourself. The
mild case of depression can be defeated by a variety of self-care
techniques. Others require the treatment of medication, such as
antidepressant medications and psychotherapy that help to reduce and
sometimes eliminate the symptoms of depression. According to the
National Mental Health Association, one in every eight women can expect
to experience clinical depression during their lifetime. In gender
perspective, women are twice at risk to develop depression than men.
Women and depression
In an article of Why Women Experience Depression More Than Men, by Susan
Nolen-Hoeksema, Ph.D., Carla Grayson, Ph.D. & Judith Larson, Ph.D.,
the experts wrote that researchers have known for years that women
experience depression more often than men do, but the reason for this
gender difference has not been clear. A study published by researchers
provides some answers by showing how social conditions and personality
characteristics affect each other and contribute to the gender
differences in depressive symptoms.
C. Psychological causes of depression in women
1. Rumination
When comes to stress, women tend to respond to distress
by repetitively, pessimistically and passively focusing on the symptoms
of distress, and on its possible causes and consequences. If the
situation persistently over a period of time, it can lead to unipolar
depression. In a study of Rethinking Rumination by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema,
Blair E. Wisco and Sonja Lyubomirsky, researchers found that further,
evidence now suggests that rumination is associated with
psychopathologies in addition to depression, including anxiety, binge
eating, binge drinking, and self-harm.
2. Stress response
According to an article of Study: Why Women Are More Sensitive to Stress
posted by LiveScience Staff, showed that women are more likely to
suffer from depression and stress out than their cool male counterparts.
New research suggests there might be a biological reason for the gender
difference. According to The research appears online in Molecular Psychiatry.
The study’s first author is Debra A. Bangasser, Ph.D., a fellow in
Valentino’s laboratory researcher found that Analyzing the brains of
rats that responded to a swim stress test, Valentino’s team found that
in female rats, neurons had receptors for CRF that bound more tightly to
cell signaling proteins than in male rats, and thus were more
responsive to CRF. Furthermore, after exposure to stress, male rats had
an adaptive response, called internalization, in their brain cells.
Their cells reduced the number of CRF receptors, and became less
responsive to the hormone. In female rats this adaptation did not occur
because a protein important for this internalization did not bind to the
CRF receptor.
3. Gender Intensification in Adolescence
Accordingly to the article of Gender Differences in Depression by Susan
Nolen-Hoeksema. the author wrote Social pressure to conform to gender
roles is thought to increase dramatically as children move through
puberty. For girls, this may mean a reduction in their opportunities
and choices, either real or perceived. Girls also feel that if they pursue male-stereotyped
activities and preferences, such as interests in math and science or in competitive sports, they
are rejected by their peers. For many girls, especially white girls, popularity and social acceptance
become narrowly. This narrowing of acceptable behavior for girls in
early adolescence may contribute to the increasein depression in girls
at this time.
4. Body image and eating disorder
In a study of Body-image and eating disturbances predict onset of
depression among female adolescents: a longitudinal study, by Stice E,
Hayward C, Cameron RP, Killen JD, Taylor CB., researchers found that the
results were consistent with the assertion that the body-image- and
eating-related risk factors that emerge after puberty might contribute
to the elevated rates of depression for adolescent girls.

A study published by researchers provides some answers by showing how social conditions and personality characteristics affect each other and contribute to the gender differences in depressive symptoms.
Social and cultural causes of depression
1.Poverty
In an article of Study links poverty to depression among mothers written By Donna St. GeorgeWashington Post Staff Writer, the author wrote that More than half of babies in poverty are being raised by mothers who show symptoms of mild to severe depression, potentially creating problems in parenting and in child development, according to a new study.
Low-income mothers of infants were typically not teenagers, Golden said, but young – in their early 20s – with more than half under 24. The severely depressed group was 44 percent white, 30 percent black and 21 percent Hispanic; these mothers were at greater risk of domestic violence and substance abuse than poor mothers who were not depressed.
2. Childhood trauma
In a study of The link between childhood trauma and depression: Insights from HPA axis studies in humans by Christine Heim, D. Jeffrey Newport Tanja Mletzko, Andrew H. Miller and Charles B. Nemeroff, researcher found that Childhood trauma is a potent risk factor for developing depression in adulthood, particularly in response to additional stress. We here summarize results from a series of clinical studies suggesting that childhood trauma in humans is associated with sensitization of the neuroendocrine stress response, glucocorticoid resistance, increased central corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) activity, immune activation, and reduced hippocampal volume, closely paralleling several of the neuroendocrine features of depression.
3. Social isolation
A woman with lack of contact with other people beside the family may be cause by a pervasive withdrawal or avoidance of social contact or communication are at higher risk to develop depression as a sesult of behavioural and physical disorders.
4. Role strain
Over conflicting and overwhelming responsibilities in a woman life can contribute to a higher stress, if problem is not solve over prolonged period of time, it may lead to depression.
5. Relationship dissatisfaction
Life stress, social support and clinical depression: A reanalysis of the literature by Runar Vilhjalmsson, Department of Nursing, University of Iceland, Eiriksgotu 34, 101, Reykjavik, Iceland, researcher ofund that the lack of social support may increase the likelihood that life stress will lead to depression, or the absence of social support may constitute a form of strain that leads to depression directly.

A study published by researchers provides some answers by showing how social conditions and personality characteristics affect each other and contribute to the gender differences in depressive symptoms.
B. Biological causes of depression
Most biological causes are hormones related as a result of low levels of female hormone in the stage of perimenopause and menopause or suddenly drop of hormone after birth as well as other such as pregnancy, stress, etc.
1. Perimenopause
Women who experience menstrual irregularities at the stage of perimenopause are at higher to develop depression due to declining of both estrogen and progesterone as a result of increased production follicle stimulating hormone.
2. Menopause
In menopause stage, women are no longer menstruation as a result of the complete shut down of egg produced ovaries and levels of estrogen and progesterone produced are declined rapidly, leading to depression.
3. Premenstrual problems
It is a result of hormone irregularities or fluctuation as a result of typical American diet with high in saturated and trans fat with less fruits and vegetables, causing premenstrual syndrome like depression.
4. Postpartum depression
is a type of clinical depression, affecting women, after childbirth. Normally this of nervous tension occurs in women in the first new months of pregnancy, but in some women, it can last after child birth. The rate of occurrence is between 5 -25%, depending to the uniqueness of each women. In men the occurrence of postpartum depression are uncleared with the range between 1% and 25%.
Normally the symptoms will go away on its own in a short period of time (Baby blue symptoms). In some women, the symptoms get more serve everyday and does not go away that can leading to the onset of postpartum depression.
5. Pregnancy and pregnancy related depression
Hormonal change during pregnancy may be another cause of depression, especially dor women with family history of depression. Other pregnancy related problems such as infertility, miscarriage, still birth, etc can increase stress that can lead to depression as well.

A study published by researchers provides some answers by showing how social conditions and personality characteristics affect each other and contribute to the gender differences in depressive symptoms.
A. General causes
1. Hormone imbalance
About 60% of people suffering from physical depression have abnormal levels of thyroid or adrenal hormones causing impaired thinking and making it difficult to carry out daily activity. If the thyroid hormone is in low levels we have hypothyroidism resulting in weight gain, fatigue and loss of appetite. If the thyroid hormone is in high levels we have hyperthyroidism resulting in hand trembling, weakness, anxiety and nervousness On the other hand, if adrenal hormone is in low levels symptoms may include stress, and weakness. If the adrenal hormone is in high level symptoms include weight gain, and diabetes.
2. Immune disorder
Immune system disorder causes concentration difficulty, lowered mood, memory loss, anxiety and symptoms of depression.
3. Nutritional deficiency Too much Omega fatty 6 and deficiency of Omega acid 3 causes memory loss, mood swings and depression. On the other hand deficiency of vitamin B12, chromium, selenium or magnesium causes anxiety and depression as well as mood swings.
4. Sleeping disorder
If sleeping disorder is serious enough to interfere with normal physical, mental and emotional functioning such as fatigue, poor concentration, low mood and other symptoms of depression.
5. Effect of medication taken
Many medications cause symptoms of depression as a side effect such as low mood and anxiety as a result of taking heart and hypertension medication.

Changing the social circumstances that many women face so that they do not have so much to ruminate about is equally important.
Types of depression
1. Reactive depression
Reactive depression is the reaction caused by emotional swings affecting anyone at one time at his and her life, such as death of a love one, loss of financial stability or chronic diseases. People suffering from reactive depression may lose interest of doing things that provide pleasure. These people generally still function in daily activity normally. Most people suffering from reactive depression may see the symptoms disappear gradually over time, some may require the support from others or take antidepressant medications. 2. Physical depression
This type of depression is caused by chemical imbalance in the brain as resulting of chronic illness such as hormone imbalance, immune disorder or nutritional deficiency. People suffering from physical depression may lose interest or pleasure in almost everything and generally have a negative impact on every function in daily life.
3. Manic depression
This is a severe type of physical depression. In medical terms, manic depression is characterized by wide mood swings with periods of both depression, mania and a variety of other significant symptoms not present in other types of depression such as the fluctuation between periods of extreme energy and vivacity with those of complete hopeless.
