The United States has data showing that women are about twice as likely as men to suffer from depression. Therefore, this paper discusses the genetic analysis of the gender differences in depression from a biological perspective, gender role expectation, and social culture. In life, we may find that even in the face of the same source of stress, women tend to be more vulnerable than men, more prone to depression, are more likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, which largely because women unique biological basis.

The hypothalamus - pituitary - adrenal axis (HPA) by adjusting the levels of various hormones, including cortisol levels, to regulate the bodys response to stress. Cortisol levels affect other biological chemicals, these creatures chemicals that affect the persons mood. Depressed people facing pressure elevated cortisol levels, heralding the HPA disorder. Studies have concluded that says the women face more traumatic events, HPA easier to imbalance, and women have physiological period, ovarian hormone changes can also adjust the HPA. In the period of changes in ovarian hormones, when women face stress, they are more likely to be depressed because of the stress response. The special biological basis of women provides a material basis for depression, making it more likely to be influenced by environmental factors. From the point of sex role expectat
