Depression is a serious problem for women, one that is, in some cases, related to the sociocultural environment. This article posits that events and processes in the environment can interfere with an individual's effort to fulfill life goals, thereby creating the potential for depression. Both the number and the character of these disruptive events and processes contribute to the likelihood of developing illness. Women with high numbers of events that are characterized by humiliation, entrapment, and bereavement, for example, will be at high risk for depression. The psychosocial management of the environmental contribution to depression is explored.
抑郁症对女性来说是个严重问题，在某些情况下，它与社会文化环境有关。本文认为，环境中的事件和过程会干扰个人实现生活目标的努力，从而引发抑郁的可能性。这些干扰性事件和过程的数量和性质都会增加患病的可能性。例如，经历大量以羞辱、受困和丧亲为特征事件的女性，患抑郁症的风险会很高。本文还探讨了针对环境因素导致抑郁症的心理社会管理方法。
