THE TWO FACES OF DEPRESSION: THE IMPACT OF GENDER ON THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION
Friday, March 18, 2011, 12:30PM - 4:15PM
Rockville Memorial Library , 21 Maryland Ave First Floor Meeting Room
A landmark study, sponsored by The World Health Organization, Harvard University, and the World Bank, has projected that by 2020 depression will become the world’s second most disabling condition. Biological, psychological, and social factors affect gender-specific differences in age of onset, prevalence, course, comorbidity, and choice of treatment for major mood disorders. This lecture will review the many variables affecting the onset, course, and treatment of depression in women and men.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
1) Describe gender differences in prevalence rates and risk factors for depression.
2) Describe gender differences in neurobiology, presentation and course of depression in men and women.
3) Identify the role of reproductive transitions in the onset and recurrence of mood disorders in women and men.
4) List the impact of comorbid alcohol and substance abuse on depression in men and women.
5) Identify the possible impact of hormonal transitions and treatments on the response to antidepressants.

CTL: Safe Zone Training
According to GLSEN’s 2001 National School Climate Survey, a majority of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual (GLBT) students feel unsafe at school and are likely to skip class or even days of school out of fear for personal safety. The research also indicates that students who can identify a supportive faculty/staff member or student group are more likely to feel a sense of belonging at their schools than those who cannot. For many students, the presence of allies to whom they can turn for support-or even the simple knowledge that allies exist- can be a critical factor in developing a positive sense of self, building community, coping with bias, and working to improve school climate.
