Abstract

Despite clear evidence of an intimate connection between sleep, major depressive disorders (MDD) and gender, few studies have explored gender differences in either sleep or in wakefulness in patients as a means of better understanding the psychogenic components of MDD. Indeed, few sleep studies focus on characterising gender differences in any population. This paper will present a review of the literature on gender differences in sleep and depression. The theoretical and clinical implications of the findings will also be discussed. The premise of the present review is that there is an inherent increased vulnerability to depression in women that arises out of basic gender differences in brain organisation and state regulation, particularly in response to a "biological challenge" during sleep. It is argued that the inherent properties of organisation and regulation of sleep EEG in healthy men and women, elicited under challenge conditions, show gender-specific vulnerability to organisational abnormalities that model homeostatic abnormalities in depressed men and women and contribute to the genesis of depression. 2001 Harcourt Publishers Ltd

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
