ABSTRACT
Depression is probably the most common psychiatric disorder in women. Women are a vulnerable group of depression due to psychological, social and biological factors. Marital relationships, social support, roles and self esteem are factors that contribute to depression. In addition, several periods in women's life relating to the reproductive cycle are periods of increased vulnerability. Management of depression in women should consist of detailed assessment of all the above factors. Drug treatment of depression in women requires an in depth understanding of pharmacokinetics of the drugs used and possible drug interactions. Treatment of depression in women should integrate both psychosocial and biological treatment modalities.
