women loose their voice (themselves) to patriarchy at age around 12 - their depression rate doubles compared to boys.
women regain their voice (themselves) and retreat from abuse at menopause (50+) - their depression rate reduced to 1.2 (1.3) compared to men.
remarkable.

Also, research shows that bad moods in women may be due to the female brain's reduced manufacture of serotonin relative to males--who make more serotonin. This is especially true during the weeks of low estrogen and falling progesterone of the menstrual cycle--ie, the week before onset of menstruation. Natural ways to ameliorate this are: moderate to strenuous exercise, foods high in tryptophan (ie proteins).
