Depression in Women.
Sadness may be the price that we pay for attachments to other people. Losses are inevitable, and we all endure the pain that comes with them. Beyond relatively short-lived feelings of grief and sorrow, prolonged sadness can grow into something much more debilitating. Everyone’s life contains the potential for despair. Some people are able to work their way through it, but others become overwhelmed. When it reaches higher levels of intensity and begins to interfere with a person’s ability to function and enjoy life, a low mood is known as clinical depression. In this chapter we will consider emotional disorders that involve prolonged periods of severe depression (Oltmanns & Emery, 2012, p. 102).
