TLDR
Whether sex disparities in depression rates disappear when alternative symptoms are considered in the place of, or in addition to, more conventional depression symptoms is explored.Abstract:
RESULTS Men reported higher rates of anger attacks/aggression, substance abuse, and risk taking compared with women. Analyses using the scale that included alternative, male-type symptoms of depression found that a higher proportion of men (26.3%) than women (21.9%) (P = .007) met criteria for depression. Analyses using the scale that included alternative and traditional depression symptoms found that men and women met criteria for depression in equal proportions: 30.6% of men and 33.3% of women (P =. 57).read more

Malin Stenman,Ulrik Sartipy +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that twice as many women as men had a positive depression screen at baseline, and that almost 10% of all who were screening negative at baseline were screening positive after one year, and an improvement in depressive symptoms was more common among women than men after oneyear of follow up.

TL;DR: Notably, major depressive disorder is a common disorder, widely distributed in the population, and usually associated with substantial symptom severity and role impairment, and while the recent increase in treatment is encouraging, inadequate treatment is a serious concern.

Sex and depression in the National Comorbidity Survey I: Lifetime prevalence, chronicity and recurrence

TL;DR: Age of onset analysis shows that this sex difference begins in early adolescence and persists through the mid-50s and means that the higher prevalence of 12-month depression among women than men is largely due to women having a higher risk of first onset.
