Females experience depression about twice as often as males. Women can find it difficult to go out and socialise, especially if they are looking after children. They may feel trapped in the home environment. Menopause, hypertension, marriage problems can all be negative attributes in their lives. Men tend to experience depression with a job loss, lack of promotion, arguments at home, getting older and often with the experience of health problems. They frequently choose not to seek therapy or visit their doctor. They may tend to go out, socialise and drink more alchohol to suppress their underlying anxiety.
