Episode #55

In this episode, the X-Podcast team dives into what depression looks like in women. They discuss depression specifically in cisgender heterosexual women and will have future episodes on other specific demographics within the women's community. These future episodes will focus individually on transgender women, intersex individuals, nonbinary individuals, and woman/feminine identified people. 

This episode touches on the gender gap with women and depression. It also gets into what contributes to clinical depression in women. In addition, it discusses how to recognize depression in women and how to seek treatment for it. They also provide resources and references for listeners in the show notes.
