Depression and gender

Study: “The main findings suggest that androgynous gender role traits

can protect against depression, regardless of sex and age,” Li told

PsyPost. “To be specific, both female and male individuals who strongly

endorse masculine traits (e.g., stands up well, never give up, active,

and decisive) are less susceptible to depression, and feminine traits

(e.g., warm, tender, gentle, affectionate, sympathetic, and

understanding) may also allow them to benefit from social support as

protective factors for depression."
