Abstract
Depressive disorders are twice as frequent in women than in men. Diffe rent hypotheses are discussed with a focus an social factors which hav e a different impact on the course of depression in men than in women. The results of some studies suggest that social factors have more inf luence on the rate of relapse in women than in men. The implications o f these results for gender related therapeutic foci are discussed.
