Women feel depressed of being women
The world statistics show that three fourths of people suffering depressions are women and only one fourths are men. Thus, depression is a female disease? Not quite. Women are just more prone to it than men for some reasons.
If we generalize, all reasons for depression can be divided into two groups. Endogenous (internal) reasons are caused by the cerebral chemistry. Exogenous (external) reasons are caused by stresses, brainfag and traumatic situations. Women have much more internal reasons for depressions than men do.
The peculiarities of metabolism. Female hormonal balance changes quicker and more often, than the male one. It is mostly connected with periods. Metabolic processes of the organism can not but influence metabolic processes of the cerebrum. The hormonal balance may suddenly alter mood during PMS or may cause postnatal depression.

The peculiar way to perceive information. The time has passed when researchers have to prove that female cogitation is not worse, but just different from male brainwork. It is now obvious, but what is the difference?
“From the biochemical point of view the thing is that a signal in a female cerebrum takes the longer way, and more cerebral structures are involved. The longer the way the more likely there are some distortions – this is the universal principle in mechanics and in information technologies,†said Doctor Vycheslav Davydov. “I am not talking about lofty matters. Let us take ordinary umbrellas. One umbrella is hard to break because it has too many joint-pins. But it is inconvenient to carry it, for it is too huge. Another umbrella can be put even in a theater bag. Though it can be folded up, it is very fragile.â€
The peculiarities of female affections. First of all, we should say that this point does not concern everyone. But as often as not women have troubles to express their anger. The social norms are partly to blame here: women are not to be angry. That is why women often replace their anger by offence that goes together with oppression, reproaches and self-pity.

But that would be too simple to associate female depression with endogenous factors alone: if a hormone is defective, women plunge in despondence at once. In fact, hormonal changes act as a catalyst for depression. The major reasons are outside; they are just accompanied by hormonal changes. Problems with family, children, home and their own personality are more painful for women than for man.
