Life beyond depression: the experience of gays and lesbians who self-identify as depressed.
The purpose of this research was to compare differences in the experiences of gay men and lesbian women who describe experiences of depression or depressed mood. The 2 main research questions were how do descriptions of depression and daily life differ between gay males and lesbian females. To this end, Weblogs containing narratives of 19 gay men and 19 lesbian women were coded, analyzed, and compared using qualitative content analysis methods. Differences in described sources of depression and responses to depression, but not features of depression were found. Women and men also differed with respect to their main priorities; their descriptions of social interactions, social issues, reflections, and emotions; and a number of other daily life experiences. Findings were discussed with respect to implications for treatment and prevention of depression among sexual minorities.
