Depression does not discriminate: Age and Gender in Depression

Because it is misunderstood, childhood depression is often misdiagnosed. Childhood depression goes far beyond just being sad. A depressed child loses interest in things they normally enjoy doing, wants to be alone and rarely laughs aloud.

Depression in teenagers/adolescents is pretty common. Teenage girls are at higher risk of becoming depressed than boys. Depressed teens tend to exhibit anti-social behavior and many abuse drugs, alcohol and/or smoke.

Depression later in life is not easily identified because many diseases that affect the elderly mask the symptoms of depression. Unlike in other age groups, older persons (over 60) suffer from depression are more likely to commit or try to commit suicide.

During a manic phase, which can last weeks and even years, you are highly functioning in your job, especially if you are in the position to delegate.

The Diagnostic Tools for Bipolar Depression Symptoms

While manic depression inferred that the illness fluctuated at an even rate, three weeks of mania followed by three weeks of depression, the reality of the mood disorder is that bipolar depression symptoms can range from weeks to months of manic or high episodes, followed by weeks or simply days of the lows or depression symptoms.

Bipolar depression symptoms are the same as before, they have just been re-identified in length of time.

It is characterized by two polar moods - elevated and despondent, each directly opposite of the other, giving it the name bi, meaning two, and polar, meaning opposite.

Depression is caused from a chemical imbalance in the brain. Hormonal fluctuation during the reproductive years also contributes to women being more prone to periods of depression.

Some risk factors for depression in women include poverty, high stress jobs, family history of depression or other mental disorders, a history of childhood abuse (sexual or physical), and losing a parent in early puberty.

Surprisingly, depression seems to affect more married women than single women.
