Depression is a mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and despair, affecting a person’s day-to-day functioning. Depression occurs more often in women than men. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, a person’s sex and age impact how a depressed mood is exhibited.

• Men tend to be tired, irritable, and angry, showing more reckless behavior.
• Women tend to feel sad, worthless, and guilty.
• Older adults have more subtle signs because they’re less likely to admit to feelings of sadness or grief.
