The statement above is FALSE. 
Depression is more common in women compare to men. This happens for several reasons, some of the reasons are as follows: women have stronger genetic disposition to depression, women are more subjected to fluctuating hormone levels, women invested more in relationships, women are more ruminative more than men, women experience stress more than men in the course of balancing their careers and homes and women are more likely to seek medical treatment for depression.

The answer is false.
