A very quick Google search just revealed a fact to me that is somewhat shocking. According to both the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Psychological Association, women are twice as likely to be depressed as men. There are numerous factors that may contribute to this including biology, poverty, and the way girls are raised in our culture.

I suppose I should find this statistic to be comforting in some way, since I'm one of the women it includes. Maybe I'm not so weird and crazy after all.
