title: Depression in women.
abstract: In both developing and developed regions, depression is women's leading cause of disease burden. The burden of mental illnesses, including depression, has been seriously underestimated by traditional approaches that measure mortality and not disability. While psychiatric conditions are responsible for little more than 1% of deaths, they account for almost 11% of disease burden worldwide.
