Aside from the conjunction of women and depression, there is no particular unifying theme linking the 21 studies. Some are by mental health researchers, and others from other medical specialties, counseling and other human services, social sciences, and other fields. Among the topics are differential risk for emotional processing difficulties by gender and age in major depressive disorder, depression in Latino and Hispanic women, contributors to depressive symptoms in older women with HIV, why depression develops in complicated osteoporosis, comparing the profile and presence of depression among nursing students from diurnal and afternoon classes, and depression as a risk factor for coronary heart disease in women.
