Abstract

In their article, Drs. Patalay and Demkowicz raise important questions about research regarding the sex/gender gap in depression rates. However, their perspective on this topic is rather polarizing and yields statements of questionable accuracy. In this Commentary, I respond to several statements in the Article, which I consider potentially misleading. My goal is to present a broader perspective on sex/gender and depression and encourage further discussion of this important topic.

《别介意差距:为什么我们不关心心理健康方面的性别差距?》P. Patalay和O. Demkowicz著

在他们的文章中。Patalay和Demkowicz对抑郁症发病率的性别差异研究提出了重要的问题。然而，他们对这个话题的看法是相当两极分化的，并产生了可疑的准确性陈述。在这篇评论中，我对文章中的一些我认为可能具有误导性的陈述作出回应。我的目标是提出一个关于性/性别和抑郁症的更广泛的观点，并鼓励对这个重要话题的进一步讨论。
