Yet, a new study has discovered that this gender gap continues well into adulthood, with women's levels of depression slowlj increasing relative to time. "The depression gender gap says that on average women are mors depressed than men, and this gap is evident at age 18 and increases tc about age 55 or 60," said Johr Mirowsky, author of the study anc sociology professor at Ohio State Mirowsky analyzed the 1990 U.S Survey of Work, Family, and WeilBeing, which involved interviews with 2,031 adults across the country aged 18 to 90. Findings from the three surveys revealed that levels of depression foi both men and women drop from earl} adulthood until somewhere in the mid-40s to late 50s when depression scores start rising again. However, depression levels foi men drop more quickly in earlj adulthood than they do for women The family mobilizes to help men overcome depression, but women are expected to cope, said Dr. Frances Dorris, clinical psychologist at the Center for Women's Healing. The gap is the smallest, almost not appearing, at age 20 to 22, Mirowsky said.

Ik uffer f men throw men and women tend to be getting out of college and are the most similar 1 in their lives, perspectives, and situations. 1 Other research has proven that ' the gap forms in adolescence as a ' result of male and female adaptation 1 to biological and social changes, 7 Mirowsky said. Mirowsky is the first to research whether or not the gap ' grows into adulthood. The results imply that gender 5 inequality is a major cause for the * growing gap ? the fact that women { are paid less and handle things such L as housework, childrearing and cooking. In order to explain the growing gap, Mirowsky further analyzed some 1 of the data from the previous surveys. ^ He found that the gender gap was cut in half when the inequality that ' women face was statistically eliminated. "Given the enormous changes in ! women's lives over the past three or 1 four generations, it is surprising and disturbing to see no clear indication that the gender gap in depression is vanishing," Mirowsky said. Depression generally has to do 1 with coping styles and how people ! manage their belief systems and 1 cognitive sets, Dorris said. Although depression among women is more common, men can ' also suffer from this treatable condition.

Bret Epstein psychology intern at OSU's Counseling and Consultation Center n depression shout life w # will have a major depressive disorder in their lifetime, opposed to 5 to 12 percent for men," said Bret Epstein, who has a master's in clinical psychology and is working as a psychology intern at OSUs Counseling and Consultation Center. While men have a tendency to turn outward, women turn inward, causing them to withdraw more, Epstein said. Research has also proven that there is a strong correlation between depression and suicide. Depressed people are generally the ones who commit suicide, Dorris said. They tend to feel hopeless and accept suicide as the only way out. Among OSU students who suffer from depression, trouble with school work has been reported as the number one cause, Epstein said. Other causes include physical insecurities about their looks and weight, nnances and problems with drugs and alcohol. Although there are many myths about depression, one fact is that depression is a serious disease that can affect anyone and can be treated with medication, counseling and exercise, Epstein said.
