Statistically, women are to be diagnosed with major depressive disorder.

The answe is that: Statistically, women are more than twice as likely as men to suffer, or be diagnosed with major depressive disorder, but during the age range of 14 to 25. And although this ratio changes on earlier and later stages, the difference in general between men and women who have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, is really high. In fact, data shows that, as of studies carried out by 2012, and later, the difference was of 5.5% for women with major depression and 3.2% for men. It is unclear why this is the case, and there are major studies still being carried out to determine if the cause of this increase in the prevalence of major depression in women is social, cultural, or biologically related.
