Sex differences in recurrent depression: are there any that are significant?
E Frank, LL Carpenter and DJ Kupfer
Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, PA 15213.
The authors report on sex differences in a group of 230 patients with
recurrent depression. Male and female patients were similar in clinical
characteristics and baseline measures of severity. Some sex differences in
depressive symptoms were apparent, especially as reflected by self- report
instruments. The women reported more appetite and weight increase, more
somatization, and expressed anger and hostility. The men demonstrated a
more rapid response to treatment. Various interpretations of these findings
are discussed.
