N2  - This article provides a gender-based overview of the current literature on depression. Characteristics common to both genders include depressive recurrence, chronic depression associated with an increased risk for suicide, and comorbid disorder complications; differences include substance abuse or dependence, completed suicides, rapid cycling, and seasonality. There are several inconsistencies regarding gender differences in the course of major depression--the time to recovery from episodes, the time to recurrence, the likelihood of becoming chronically depressed, and the severity of episodes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
