Studies from 10 nations reveal that the rates of depression among women are twice as high as they are among men. Do women have a biological bent for depression, or are social double standards the major cause Mental health workers have long noticed among the clinically depressed women take up a bigger proportion. Until recently, though, it was unclear whether more women than men were ill or, instead, whether more women sought help. In fact, a mounting collection of studies has confirmed that major depression is twice as common among women as it is among men. "This is one of the most consistent findings we have ever had," says Myrna M. Weissman of Columbia University. Scientists searching for explanations are challenged by the fact that a variety of cues prompt depression in different people. Sorting out which factors might have a greater influence on women has not proved easy. Both sexes stand an equal chance of inheriting major depression, so genes are most likely not to blame. Yet hormones and sleep cycles--which differ dramatically between the sexescan alter mood. Also, many workers have proposed that social discrimination might put women under high levels of stress. In 1990 an international group examines mood disorders. In the 10 nations reviewed so far, the team has found that among generations reaching maturity after 1945, depression seems to be on the rise and occurs at a younger age. Although overall incidence varies regionally, "everywhere the rates of depression among women are about twice as high as they are among men," Weissman says. In contrast, lifetime rates for manic-depressive illness do not differ according to sex or culture. Mark S. George and his colleagues at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) recently studied which regions of the brain have greater blood flow during periods of depression. George found that "the brain activity of the men and women of depression looked very different. " He has since compared feelings of anger, anxiety and happiness, finding no such big a difference. Because one in five American women has a history of depression, especially as they often pursue therapy from other sources, sometimes on top of an anti-depressant clinic. Says Leibenluft: "It is remarkable how little work has been done on this subject. \ The author quotes Leibenluft’s comment in the last paragraph to______.
One thing that Ismael Matos, 23, says he’s learned on his job as a special agent with the Geek Squad, is that there are no stupid questions—not even when a customer asks where the power button is. The goal, Matos says, is first to "strip out the jargon. " You know what he means: those terms like gigs, Ram, and motherboard that civilians don’t typically use in everyday conversations. Once he establishes a common language with the customer, Matos can focus on building a relationshipone that he hopes will pay off in the future. Matos knows that clients often don’t have the same skills he does. His customers ask for help not only with setting up new computers and installing software, but also with digital cameras, wireless Internet access and even getting their iPod synced with iTunes. We live in the age of Web2.0, when Internet viewers are fast becoming content creators. We may log in to social networking sites such as Digg and Technorati, rate or even upload videos on YouTube, and contribute and edit information on collaborate websites known as wikis. But members of this expanding plugged-in population aren’t necessarily up to speed with the language of the web—or understand the technical lingo of the sales or customer service people they’re turning to for assistance. According to a "Cyber Stress" survey of 1,001 American broadband Internet service users, 46 percent said the typical tech support person uses an excess of technical language, and 61 percent said they would prefer a "computer therapist" who is compassionate and easy to talk to. A question that online public relations strategist Sally Falkow says she’s hearing often these days is, "How do we cope with all this" she tells people, "There’s no way you can escape this. There’s a big conversation going on," and it’s important to learn how to be part of it. If you’re at the earliest stage of the learning curve, start by reading technology-oriented columns and articles in magazines, newspapers and websites that are written for a general audience. Move up to more tech-oriented e-letters as you build a foundation. As you come across new tells, look them up online. Definitions at Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia written and edited by web users, may be helpful. You should also start associating with people who can help explain things. Look for groups that sponsor seminars or find a supportive online community. Don’t be afraid to guide your helper. Explain what you need to know, ask him or her to slow down and speak in basic terms. What is the major problem shown by the "Cyber Stress" survey
