Abstract

"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina." That pure wisdom is a quote from the movie Kindergarten Cop. The little boy summarized the differences between boys and girls quite well but unfortunately nothing in life remains just that simple. Recently the more complex differences between boys and girls have been the focus of research regarding depression. Studies have indicated that while the childhood prevalence of depression in boys and girls is relatively similar, once children reach adolescence girls are nearly twice as likely as boys to exhibit depressive symptoms. This prevalence rate mirrors what is found in adults with depression. What factors are contributing to this difference?
