ABSTRACT
Depression is twice as common in women as in men, and women often experience different symptoms, a different course, and a different response to treatment. Furthermore, the menses, oral contraceptive use, parturition, menopause, and old age may cause or exacerbate depression. This paper discusses the diagnosis and management of depression in women throughout the stages of life.
