Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
That 66.6 per cent of anxiety sufferers are women. Research has also found that males produce 52 per cent greater serotonin (the calming chemical in the brain) levels than females.
Females have busier brains than males, and thus find more things to worry about unfortunately than their male counterparts.
The reason anxiety disorders affect women more often than men is because women experience hormonal fluctuations throughout their lives, including menstruation, pregnancy and menopause.
Of concern to me personally is the fact that Asperger's people are prone to suffering anxiety. I have a son who has the developmental disorder, and he is very distant most of the time.
I wish all of you wellness ladies, and I now have a better understanding as to why you suffer the way you do.

I suffer greatly from both severe Anxiety and Depression. I also have an Asperger's son who suffers as well. We are both on meds, as is my daughter for severe anxiety. As you can see it runs in the family.
I wish you and your family well as you deal with this relentless and difficult affliction.
