Answer:

The concept of learned helplessness/hopelessness do not really help me to understand thegender difference in depression rates. It would have to mean that generally, women aremore likely to exhibit learned helplessness/hopelessness more than men

Step-by-step explanation:

Physiological and behavioral symptoms of depression are sleep or appetite disturbances, psychomotor problems, catatonia, fatigue, loss of memory.

Learned helplessness is simply hopelessness and passive resignation an animal or human learns when unable to avoid repeated adversive event
