Depression in Women:Reasons why they don't want sex

Depression is nowadays more common in women especially from developed countries like USA, CANADA, GREAT BRITAIN etc. 

1. Compared to men, women may have a stronger genetic predisposition to developing depression.

2. Compared to men, women are much more subjected to fluctuating hormone levels. This is especially the case around the time of childbirth and at the menopause, both of which are associated with an increased risk of developing depression.

Psychological explanations

3. Women are more ruminative than men, that is, they tend to think about things more—which, though a very good thing, may also predispose them to developing depression. In contrast, men are more likely to react to difficult times with stoicicism, anger, or substance misuse.

4. Women are generally more invested in relationships than men. Relationship problems are likely to affect them more, and so they are more likely to develop depression. 

Sociocultural explanations

5. Women come under more stressthan men. Not only do they have to go work just like men, but they may also be expected to bear the brunt of maintaining a home, bringing up children, caring for older relatives, and putting up with all the sexism!

6. Women live longer than men. Extreme old age is often associated with bereavement, loneliness, poor physical health, and precarity—and so with depression.

7. Women are more likely to seek out a diagnosis of depression. They are more likely to consult a physician and more likely to discuss their feelings with the physician. Conversely, physicians (whether male or female) may be more likely to make a diagnosis of depression in a woman.

Perhaps you can think of some other reasons why depression is twice as common in women than in men, in which case please do let me know!

Depression is even common in teens. In that case consult with your parents and seek medication. 

   Review of Udai Yadla's Book: 

Review of Udai Yadla' s "A Walk In The Rain"

Story: Love is elixir that keeps you alive. Love is poison that kills you. An unreciprocated love keeps you alive but kills you everyday. These are the lines with which the blurb of the book begins. It is a story of Saloni and Sunny and their love story. Sunny is a guy who lives a life which is absolutely reclusive in nature. He spends each second of his life busy being comfortable in his memories. He is a lonesome boy whom you will find next door. Sunny however refuses to take hold of the present.
Saloni on the other hand is the woman of the night. She is a prostitute, desperate only to earn money. She does not care about exploiting others to fulfill her purpose.

The most important part of this novel is the magic of rain. When fate unites Sunny and Saloni, their journey of love and redemption starts.
Climax portion: Sunny runs after Sandy, the love of his love, but suddenly she moves out of his life. Lonesome Sunny was in the state of the superlative of lonely. He was haunted by his past for twenty years. Memories passed by him and washed him just like rain, incapable to remove them. His friend Imran promises to change Sunny's life forever. He plans a surprise birthday party for Sunny but a tragedy occurs. Imran gets killed by a stranger. His calm life turns into a distressed turbulent storm. His reluctant alliance with Saloni, the prostitute sets him onto a nerve racking adventure of life and death.

Language: With extremely flowery and simple decorating words the novel stands out from the rest. Udai Yadla' s debut work is a must read. The storyline itself draws the readers towards the climax and then till the end. The way the prologue starts and the sentence, ' Hah...my job is now complete' is an absolute new form in writing.

Review: The book in true words is an adventure. It is highly engaging, deeply impactful and lovable. Udai Yadla's affectionate first work. The sentences like 'I owe you an apology. I kept you in the dark'  will stir your heart for sure.
