Why the women are so depressed than men?

What a silly response. Are you aware that depression is an illness? In my experience it is men who enjoy behaving like babies and craving attention when they are ill. It is women who get on with what they have to do. How often do you see a mother give in to symptoms of illness...they don't, they keep on going to keep their family functioning. It is also my experience that men suffer depression more than women. I have never known a woman who suffers from this illness. Probably because they are in touch with themselves on a physical, mental and spiritual level and are usually able to reach out and talk about their troubles. Of course I don't mean ALL women have the ability to do this. It is well known that men have difficulty expressing themselves at any deep emotional level...except for anger maybe. My own nephew at 29 took his life 4 years ago. He was suffering from depression. He had an excellent job with a firm that handles bank security and he was mostly able to work from home. He and his partner had just 2 months previously had a beautiful baby girl. They lived in a gorgeous home, away from the suburbs, in bushland on the coast. He was successful and to all outside appearances, very happy and content.

Do you get easily disturbed? Does quareeling lead to depression?

Yes i am. Whenever my husband and i had an argument over a petty thing, i would not talk to him for a day, but he would , as if nothing happened. No, quarreling doesn't necessarily lead to depression. But it's the thought that you are not getting any attention from your husband or your child, is depressing.

I agree with you that women are more 'attuned' to their feelings than men. Females are more also expected to 'express' their emotion than men. Expressing emotions means all the ranges of emotion from the best to the worst. Society somehow condition its inhabitants that women are more 'emotional' and if they are, men are supposed to be the face of strength and stoicism. If you combined the two images together, it somehow creates a balance and harmony. However, men still have feelings but are reared not to show them - they are taught that emotions are for women and if they do experience it, it is often confided within themselves.

How do these responses add to the concept that women are more depressed than men. I think you've both shot your ideas in the foot because you have pointed out the reasons why women do NOT become depressed.

I agreed with you because some men are not easy to accept their mistake and to show their emotion to others because they said its a cowardice.
