“…It's tempting to parallel the female DALYs lost to depression, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress with the excess of male DALYs lost to negative coping behaviours such as alcohol or drug use, violence or risk-taking. The possibility that depression and panic disorder in women, and alcohol, drug use and risk-taking (even inter-personal violence) in men are gendered ways of reacting to similar underlying distress has been raised before (Bech 2001, Rutz 2001, Moeller Leimkuehler 2007. The ages at which these conditions peak and decline are about the same for males and females, with highest numbers of DALYs lost in young adulthood.…”

“…Women's vulnerability to unipolar depression in the top 10 list is echoed by excess female DALYs for a range of other psychiatric conditions, including panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder (see Table 2b); the excess female DALYs for these outcomes is found in many national and cross-national studies (Hallstrom 2001, Angst 2002, Hopcraft 2007). Several authors have highlighted possible gender biases in current diagnostic instruments that would lead to under-diagnosis of male depression (Rutz 1999, Bech 2001, Moeller Leimkuehler 2007. The feminist community, in fact, has questioned assumptions that women are inherently vulnerable to mental illness for some time (Chessler 1972).…”

“…The feminist community, in fact, has questioned assumptions that women are inherently vulnerable to mental illness for some time (Chessler 1972). Ironically, the diagnosis and gendered causes of depression may receive more concerted attention given growing interest in male depression (van Grootheest 1999, Han 2006, Moeller Leimkuehler 2007.…”

This paper is concerned with how sex chromosomes and gendered experience differentially contribute to health outcomes, and how gender effects provide an underexplored avenue for health intervention. Research on gender and health is currently undermined by conflation of sex and gender in much of the epidemiologic and clinical literature. This precludes any meaningful reflection on the extent to which our genetic blueprint, versus gendered socialisation, contributes to the specific health vulnerabilities of males or females. Drawing on the 2002 global DALYs for males and females, this paper looks at health outcomes that differentially affect males and females, and distinguishes between vulnerabilities linked to the XX or XY genotype, vulnerabilities due to gendered life experience, and vulnerabilities about which we understand relatively little. The paper highlights the dynamic and changeable nature of gendered health vulnerabilities. Given that gender-based risks are in principal amenable to social change, they offer untapped potential for health interventions.

“…para resolver esta limitación diagnóstica Álvarez y londoño (2012) diseñaron y validaron en población general el cuestionario de Depresión para Hombres (cDH) en el que incluyeron los síntomas reportados en estudios previos (Kilmartin, 2005;Möller, Heller y paulus, 2006;Möller-leimkühler y Yücel, 2010;rodié y Usall, 2001). para continuar con el proceso de diseño del instrumento y lograr los alcances diagnósticos esperados; el presente estudio tenía como objetivo evaluar la validez (diferencial/ discriminante) y otras condiciones psicométricas relacionadas con la sensibilidad y especificidad del CDH.…”

Universidad católica de colombia Universidad de la laguna, españa rec (20 diciembre 2014) acept (24 junio 2016) Resumen el objetivo de este estudio era evaluar la validez (diferencial/discriminante) y la sensibilidad y especificidad del cuestionario de Depresión en Hombres. en la muestra clínica había 59 hombres y 59 mujeres entre 18 y 65 años diagnosticados previamente con depresión, que fueron comparados entre sí y con una muestra de controles con características sociodemográficas similares. Como medida de contraste estaba el concepto profesional y la entrevista MiNi de Depresión. para los análisis psicométricos se usó el Modelo de rasch desde la teoría de respuesta al Ítem y se hicieron análisis de covariación entre las medidas. se concluye que el instrumento cuenta con un nivel alto de validez y confiabilidad y que tiene un nivel de sensibilidad y especificidad similar al de la escala de contraste. Palabras clave: Depresión, validez, confiabilidad, sensibilidad y especificidad. AbstractThe aim of this study was to assess the validity (differential/discriminant) and the sensitivity and specificity of Depression in Men Questionnaire. in the clinical sample, there were 59 men and 59 women between 18 and 65 years previously diagnosed with depression, which were compared with each other and with a sample of controls with similar demographic characteristics. as a contrast it was the professional concept and MiNi interview Depression. For psychometric analyzes the rasch model was used from the item response theory and analysis of covariance between the measurements were made. it is concluded that the instrument has a high level of validity and reliability, and has a level of sensitivity and similar to the contrast scale specificity.

“…Desde esta perspectiva machista, los varones deben dominar, competir, tener fuerza corporal y soportar estoicamente el dolor; por el contrario, la depresión los hace sentirse débiles, cansados, sin energía y con la necesidad de soporte profesional estrechamente asociado al rol femenino (Emslie, Ridge, Ziebland, & Hunt, 2006;Kilmartin, 2005;Möller, Heller, & Paulus, 2006;Rihmer, Rutz, & Pihlgren, 1995).…”

RESUMENEl 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.Palabras clave depresión; hombres; masculinidad; síntomas. ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to identify if there are symptoms of depression in men who are not described in diagnostic manuals available. This clinical sample comprised 156 men and 174 women between 18 and 65 years prior to diagnosis of depression, and 149 men and 151 women without depression used as controls is studied. To evaluate Depression Questionnaire Depression in Men (CDH) and Interview MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview) was used. For psychometric analyzes the Rasch model was used from the Item Response Theory and multivariate comparative analysis. We conclude that men are depressed significantly different from women and that some of the symptoms identified are not considered in the current nosological systems.
