RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio era el objetivo de la presente investigación comparativa es identificar los síntomas específicos de depresión en hombres y determinar si existe un sesgo diagnóstico en los criterios incluidos en el sistema DSM y CIE. Para ello se estudia una muestra clínica conformada por 156 hombres y 174 mujeres entre los 18 y los 65 años, con diagnóstico previo de depresión, y un grupo control compuesto por 149 hombres y 151 mujeres sin depresión. Para evaluar depresión se usó Cuestionario de Depresión en Hombres (CDH) y la Entrevista MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview). Para los análisis psicométricos se empleó el Modelo de Rasch desde la Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem y análisis comparativos multivariados. Se concluye que los hombres se deprimen de forma significativamente diferente de las mujeres y que parte de los síntomas identificados no son considerados en los sistemas nosológicos vigentes.
