| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Depression is more common among women than men. Biological factors such as hormonal effects have been emphasized as factors of sex differences. However, social factors have not been fully investigated, yet. In Japanese society, women are socially vulnerable, and this may affect the sex difference in depression. We investigated the medical charts of female university students who were diagnosed with depression. We found that negative life events in childhood were associated with the development of depression. We also conducted a questionnaire targeting male and female university students. We found that the poor mental health among female university students was associated with associated with the experience of being victims of violence and sexism.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究によって、女性のうつ病は、女性が男性に比べて性差別を受けやすいことや、男性に比べて暴力の被害者になりやすいことなど、女性が社会的弱者であるということの影響を受けていることが明らかとなった。この結果は社会的意義が大きいと考える。残念な結果ではあるが、社会的要因は、将来的に変えていくことができるものでもある。
