Women and depression
Women and Depression is a new brochure about the many dimensions of major depression in women.
Some facts:
- - An estimated one in eight women will experience depression in their lifetimes; twice the rate as men, regardless of race or ethnic background.
- - Middle-aged Hispanic women have the highest rate of depressive symptoms, followed by middle-aged African American women.
- - Young Asian American women have the highest rate of younger groups and the 2nd highest rate of suicide among 15 to 24 year olds. American Indians and Alaska Native adolescents are the most likely to attempt suicide and die from it.
