A lot of people want to blame it on hormones but the thyroid has a lot to do next to it.
Having a dysfunctional thyroid almost caused me to commit suicide.
Thank the fates one of the shrinks they sent me to had a brain and run some important blood tests before he prescribed any sort of medication.
They found out my thyroid have all but quit working.
After starting 125mcg of Synthroid everyday, the improvement was amazing.
It save my life and made me the person happy I used to be.

I dont believe that any one sex can be singled out from the other....I believe that we are all susceptible to the disorders...its a short time ago hits us at different times and for different reasons....eviroments or stimuluses that cause a reaction that you may hold surpressed for many years can cause a reaction to that event some time ago.

Where you are within life as compared to where you wanted to be could be a contributing factor...Empty Nest Syndrome can affect a woman after various years of raising children...a Man that is a dislocated worker.

When it comes down to it...we are all effect just some show it differently and others mostly females are the first ones to seek counseling and help for things as this...while males tend to stew and try to work adjectives these things out for themselves.
Hormones and PMS! Plus they have to fetch children around in their bodies so that could add to the equation.
There are many social and societal reasons but from a biological perspective men enjoy about 40 times the level of testosterone as women. Testosterone and other androgens play an important role within ambition, drive, motivation, mood stability and mental & physical energy levels.
Most are putting up beside MEN. lol.
