Depression disproportionately affects women (Chaudron & Caine, 2004): they are two times more likely than men to suffer from depression.
Women are more likely than men to experience physical and mental health problems in addition to depression (Canadian Mental Health Association, 2013).
70% of antidepressant prescriptions are given to women in the US.
