Women are at greater risk of suffering from major depression than are men, by about 3 to 1. This has not yet been explained, but a host of factors are possible, including socioeconomic, cultural, and biological. Men, on the other hand, are at greater risk of anti-social disorders (marked by committing crimes, violent abusive behavior) and drug abuse.
Depressed men and women tend, on average. to present with similar symptoms of depression (loss of appetite, insomnia, feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loss of pleasure in usual activities, lasting for more than 2-3 weeks). A certain proportion of women with depression, however, present with "atypical" symptoms, and this is seldom (though sometimes!) seen in men. This is marked by over-eating, sleeping more than usual, etc.
anyone is able to suffer from depression... from any age to any gender.. Women are treated more often for depression than men. Men may have as much depression but they are less likely to seek treatment.

Are men diagnosed more often with major depression than women?
Men aren't actually more depressed on average than women. The idea is that women suffer from the same, however their hormonal imbalances (which cause depressed feelings) are more closely checked and noticed thanks to medications, doctors visits and the like. Men are overlooked in their hormonal balances because everyone thinks that they are self-reliant and don't have mood issues as a result of imbalances, while the opposite is more true. As a result, men are more quickly labeled as having depression while in reality they may be suffering from other things causing the depression symptoms.

Is severe depression and clinical depression the same thing?
Yes, they are the same. Severe depression is also called "major" depression. The differentiation is with bipolar depression. That depression is the depressive cycle of the illness. Clinical depression is more prevalent in women. While there is no research-based reason for this, in my opinion it is because research has shown that women are more emotional than are men.
Why do you have depression?
Very often, a combination of genetic, psychological, and environmental factors is involved in the onset of depression. Women experience depression about twice as often as men. Many hormonal factors may contribute to the increased rate of depression in women, particularly such factors as menstrual cycle changes, pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum period, pre-menopause and menopause. Many women also face additional stresses such as responsibilities both at work and home, single parenthood and caring for children and for aging parents.Men are less likely to suffer from depression than women. Men's depression is often masked by alcohol or drugs, or by the socially acceptable habit of working excessively long hours. Depression typically shows up in men not as feeling hopeless and helpless, but as being irritable, angry, and discouraged; hence, depression may be difficult to recognize as such in men.
