John Henryism, Depression, and Perceived Social Support in Black Women (2014, background): “Epidemiological reports have indicated the lifetime prevalence of depression in women to be at a female to male ratio of 3:1 (Blazer et al., 1994; Kessler, 2003).”
Posttraumatic stress disorder in the World Mental Health Surveys (2017, background): “For example, women are at higher risk of lifetime depression, but sex is unrelated to course of depression (Kessler, 2003).”
Depression: A cognitive perspective. (2019, background): “This gap is particularly surprising given evidence that prevalence rates of depression differ across ethnicity, race, and sex (Kessler, 2003; Kessler et al., 2003; Kessler et al., 2005) and that perceived discrimination is associated with negative mental health outcomes, such as depression (Chou, As”

Comparing network structures on three aspects: A permutation test. (2022, background): “It has been shown that, although the prevalence of major depression is higher among women compared to men (Kessler, 2003; Nolen-Hoeksema, 1987), men and women with a depression do not differ in several clinical features (e.g., severity or prospective course; Boschloo et al., 2012, 2014; Schuch et…”
