DSM diagnoses incorporated into future questionnaires?

i actually do not know the d values, but i have the male:female ratio data from another textbook.for instance, the ratio of Autism of male:female is 4:1 (Brune, 2004) and the ratio of depression is female:male 2:1 (Brune, 2004)

Great info on this page, nice work! I'll look for more m/f mental health ratios as well.

Comer also mentions that "women are at least twice as likely as men to experience episodes of severe unipolar depression" (Comer, 2010, p. 242); females also account for 95% of diagnoses of anorexia nervosa (ibid, p. 342).

Also I was inspired by a chapter in the Lippa book Gender, Nature and Nurture and added a bit to the bottom of our page about the importance of careful question development in order to include wider demographics.

Comer mentions obsessive-compulsive disorder has a roughly equal distibution between males and females (Comer, 2010, p. 150). Women outnumber men 2 to 1 with regard to specific phobias (Comer, 2010, p. 135) and generalized anxiety disorder (Ibid, p. 123).

Also I'll reference the DSM IV-TR in case anyone wants to look further into the subject of mental disorders.

What is really cool with the phobias is that they appear to be socialized out of boys and into girls (by boys!) that both sexes are equally phobic until school age.

Not sure if it matters, but our course text suggests that as incidences of alcoholism are greater in males by the same factor, that male depressive symptoms may be masked.
