More Depressed Women?

 Many brain abnormalities, such as Schizophrenia, Alzheimer's Disease, Autism, and other all have the common link, Glutamate. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter that is located in the brain. Females that have depression, have been discovered to have a higher rate with the Glutamate receptors, than males with depression. This study that was published by Molecular Psychiatry, observed males and females with depression and thoughts of suicide. In this study, it was shown that females with depression would have the "biological markers" that could easily distinguish them being high risk for suicide. "More than 41,000 people die by suicide each year in the United States...It's the second leading cause of death in people aged 15-34. Suicide claims a life every 14 minutes in the U.S. ... Over 90 percent of the people who take their lives suffer from mental illness, predominantly depression"

Depression is a very strong concept people seem to misunderstand. People feel sad and claim to be depressed. Now knowing that its something the brain has to deal with and "fix it" within itself. I find it very interesting how people can misunderstand something so internal and personal.
