It has been proved that women are more vulnerable to certain diseases then men. Smoking is an example. Though smoking as such is not a disease yet women are much more susceptible to the harms of smoking than men are. On similar lines it has been proved recently that women are more prone to the dangerous mental disorder depression.



Going by the current scheme of things it can be safely said that today there are very few people who are spared from the blows of depression. Today even children have started becoming prey to depression. At large all human beings experience depression or for that matter any other mental disorder at least once in their lives. But in case of the women it is seen that the fair sex is unusually a favorite of depression.

Women as such lead a very complex pattern of life. By saying that the lives of women are complex, I don't mean to say that men have the privilege of leading a straight and tension free life. What I actually mean is that women have to go through certain conditions in their lives particularly physical that make them easy prey to depression.

Women have to go through various physical changes in their lives that sometimes take a heavy toll on their psyches. The first important physical change in the life of a woman comes in the form of puberty. Along with the physical changes that accompany the coming of the senses, she also goes through a lot of mental complications. Again at the time of child birth, a woman goes through a number of physical as well as mental changes. There are a number of depressions that might come in the life of a woman while she is due to give birth. During pregnancy and even after giving birth she goes through depressing phases.

Apart from the physical changes a woman also has to face a number of social and familial obligations, sometimes much more than a man. She is much more responsible for housekeeping and child raising than a man is. Therefore it is only expected that while conforming to these multi faceted roles she breaks down and becomes prey to the vice of depression.

As a result women fall much more easily to depression and in a large degree than men. Many of these depression cases are instances of clinical depression. Anti depressant Xanax is a drug that is known to have a good effect on cases of clinical depression. However, being a prescribed drug it cannot be administered to women who are either pregnant or are nursing mothers. As depression drugs are easily available with the online pharmacies, people , sometimes by providing fake information and take the drug without getting a prescription. Nothing can be more dangerous than this as unwarranted use of can land a person into . Thus irrespective of the fact whether you are a woman or a man, you should not opt for Xanax, or for that matter any other anti depressant, without prescription!
