TLDR
In this article , the authors reviewed the well-known sex difference in incidence of major depressive disorder, with women being twice as likely to be diagnosed as men, and briefly summarized how the impact of MDD varies between men and women, with sex differences in symptoms, severity, and antidepressant drug response.

Stress induced microglial activation contributes to depression.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss candidate mechanisms by which stress induces microglia to deviate from its fine-tuned homeostasis in clinical and preclinical studies, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of depressive disorder.

Beyond the neuron: Role of non-neuronal cells in stress disorders

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors synthesize emerging literature and discuss mechanisms of how non-neuronal cells in limbic regions of brain interface at synapses, the neurovascular unit, and other sites of intercellular communication to mediate the deleterious, or adaptive (i.e., proresilient), effects of chronic stress in rodent models and in human stress-related disorders.

Translating the Transcriptome: Sex Differences in the Mechanisms of Depression and Stress, Revisited

TL;DR: This paper provided an overview of the relationships between baseline and depression/stress-related transcriptional sex differences and explore contributions of preclinically identified mechanisms and their impacts on behavior. But, their approach must become more systemic and less reductionist, as we move forward from accepting the existence of extensive molecular sex differences in the brain to exploring the purpose of these sex differences.

Self-efficacy: toward a unifying theory of behavioral change.

TL;DR: An integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment is presented and findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive mode of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes.

Lifetime Prevalence and Age-of-Onset Distributions of DSM-IV Disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication

TL;DR: Lifetime prevalence estimates are higher in recent cohorts than in earlier cohorts and have fairly stable intercohort differences across the life course that vary in substantively plausible ways among sociodemographic subgroups.

Organizing action of prenatally administered testosterone propionate on the tissues mediating mating behavior in the female guinea pig.

TL;DR: The sexual behavior of male and female guinea pigs from mothers receiving testosterone propionate during most of pregnancy was studied after the attainment of adulthood and the capacity to display lordosis following administration of estrogen and progesterone was greatly reduced.
