Latinas experience more depression and are less likely to receive mental health support than White women or African American women.
This article synthesizes the research on depression in adult Latinas of Mexican origin residing in the United States.
MEDLINE (PubMed), The Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and PsycINFO databases for the years 2000 through 2008 were searched using the keywords Latina, Latino, Hispanic, Mexican American, Mexican immigrant, women, and depression.
The process of acculturation and associated stressors may have a negative effect on the mental health of women of Mexican origin residing in the United States. Separation from family, harmful interpersonal relationships, unmet economic needs, conflict, and isolation may contribute to depression in this population.
More research is needed on the influence of family and economic strain as well as the effectiveness of assessments and interventions for depression in Mexican and Mexican American women, especially for those living in emerging Latina/o immigrant communities.

拉丁裔女性比白人女性或非裔美国女性更容易感到抑郁，也不太可能获得心理健康支持。
本文综合了对居住在美国的墨西哥裔成年拉丁裔女性抑郁问题的研究。
使用关键词“拉丁裔”、“拉丁裔”、“西班牙裔”、“墨西哥裔美国人”、“墨西哥移民”、“妇女”和“抑郁”，检索了 2000 年至 2008 年的 MEDLINE（PubMed）、护理与联合健康文献累积索引（CINAHL）和 PsycINFO 数据库。
文化适应的过程和相关的压力源可能对居住在美国的墨西哥裔女性的心理健康产生负面影响。与家人分离、有害的人际关系、未满足的经济需求、冲突和孤立可能导致该人群抑郁。
需要对家庭和经济压力的影响以及对墨西哥和墨西哥裔美国女性抑郁的评估和干预的有效性进行更多研究，特别是对于那些生活在新兴拉丁裔移民社区的女性。美国精神病学护士协会，2008 年；14（3），193-204。DOI：10.1177/1078390308319034。
