Men more depressed after divorce than women

Do you think men are ‘free from worries’ and lead a happy life after they divorce from their partners? Then, you are compltely mistaken. A research study done by Canadian Researchers says, “Men are more prone to depression than women after divorce”.

This Research Study was conducted on 7,614 respondents who were between the ages of 20 and 64. It was done in two intervals between 1994 and 2005.

This Research Study comes up with these interesting facts.

  • Divorced men were 6 times more likely to face depression than those who remained married. But in case of women, it is just 3.5 times.
  • 12% of people who had a breakup reported a new episode of depression, while it is just 3% in case of those who remained in a relationship.
  • One of the reasons for a divorced man’s depression is misiing his main source of social support - his partner.
  • 19% of divorced men found a decline in social support, while only 6% of married men found a drop. For women the proportions were 11% and 5%. It is because women are much better at building and maintaining social supports.
  • Anyhow,the refreshing fact is that - more than three-quarters of those who faced depression after breakup were no longer depressed after four years.

So, men…, be careful if you want to breakup with your partner. Think twice, thrice,… before you take a decision. Anyhow, if living with your present partner is living in a hell, no way left. JUST LEAVE HER… BE HAPPY
