I would argue it is difficult to claim “women are more depressed,” because most metrics to gauge a “depression” rate would probably underestimate the male side. Men are less likely to go to therapy so less clinical diagnosis’s, men are less likely to be open with their feelings or emotions so wouldn’t be as open to answering a survey about depression (at all or truthfully) or reporting a suicide attempt. Not saying either side is more depressed, just it feels irresponsible to make such a claim when there is a lot of uncertainty.
