Razu.........

From puberty through age 50, women are more than twice as likely as men to develop an anxiety disorder, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, with its symptoms of increased worrying, tension, exhaustion, and fear.
Again, so many factors come into play—including social and cultural norms and stressors, but how we react to them may be the biggest difference between men and women. That's the key finding of a 2012 study in the American Psychological Association's Journal of Abnormal Psychology: Men tend to externalize emotions while women tend to internalize them.
Biology plays a role, too, of course, and researchers are increasingly looking at the effects of estradiol, a primary gonadal hormone in women. "It is thought to mediate, or be responsible for, some of the sex differences observed in psychiatric disorders," explains Tamar Gur, MD, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral health, neuroscience, obstetrics, and gynecology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
