The question of whether women have a higher risk of becoming depressive is both starting point and theme of this study: Should depressive disorders be considered typical women’s diseases and if so, why? This question goes hand in hand with a distinct interest in the socially as well as individually embodied effects of a symbolic gender order, which Nadine Teuber manages to unfold in great detail regarding the field of depressive disorders. Thanks to the well-grounded presentation of the discursive processes of constructing sexuality and depressive disorders, which she develops with interdisciplinary references to psychological, psychoanalytical, and cultural studies perspectives, she succeeds in performing the balancing act of a gender-theoretical problematization of the phenomenon depressive disorders, which shows inherent traces of naturalization in numerous ways.
