Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from depressive symptoms/disorder. Research has focused on physiologic and psychosocial differences between men and women; an important target of study has been periods of reproductive changes. Controversy has existed regarding the extent to which the menopausal transition or postmenopause increases the risk for depressive symptoms/disorders. This paper presents findings from analyses of data from the SWAN study and an ancillary study on mental health. We found that risk for high depressive symptoms and disorder is greater during and possibly after the menopausal transition. Other factors contribute to risk for depression.
女性患抑郁症状/障碍的可能性是男性的两倍。研究集中在男性和女性之间的生理和社会心理差异上;一个重要的研究目标是生殖变化期。关于绝经过渡或绝经后增加抑郁症状/障碍风险的程度,一直存在争议。本文介绍了来自 SWAN 研究和心理健康辅助研究的数据分析结果。我们发现,在绝经过渡期间和可能之后,高抑郁症状和障碍的风险更大。其他因素也会增加患抑郁症的风险。
