严重持久的抑郁情绪常见于三种情况:双相情感障碍(既有情感高涨的躁狂发作,又有情绪低落的抑郁发作)、重型抑郁症(仅有抑郁发作,严重持久,有时是致命的)、心境恶劣(轻度抑郁,但通常持续两年以上或更长)。有关研究表明,双相情感障碍在两性之间发病率基本相同,而另两种抑郁性疾病,女性的发病率都约为男性的两倍。据有关资料显示,在美国,女性的患病率为12%,达1240万人,而男性的发病率为6%,仅有640万人。 为何抑郁性疾病常与女性为伴呢?这就要从男女两性之间差异很大的心理社会背景和女性独有的生理特征中寻求原因了。
Severe and lasting depression is common in three situations: bipolar disorder (both manic episodes and depressive episodes of depression), major depression (depressive episodes, severe and sometimes fatal ), Dysthymia (mild depression, but usually lasts for more than two years or longer). Relevant research shows that the incidence of bipolar disorder is basically the same between men and women, while in the other two depressive disorders, the incidence of women is twice as high as that of men. According to relevant information, the prevalence rate of women in the United States is 12%, reaching 12.4 million, while the incidence of males is 6%, only 6.4 million. Why are depressive diseases often associated with women? The reason for this lies in the psychosocial background that differs greatly between men and women and the unique physiological characteristics of women.
