thanks msyamp, I had no idea about the answer. Even I was thinking the lady with a lot of children under the age 6 should have one of the highest risks

"Women's risk of depressive symptoms and demoralization is higher among mothers of young children and increases with the number of children in the house (McGrath et al., 1990)."
"Married women have higher rates of depression than unmarried women, but the reverse is true for men."
You have a right Rasul, answer should be 5

i'm not sure of the exam answer, although >3 kids younger than 6yrs means she's had no time to look after herself!! so i choose 5 speaking realistically [and also good evidence by 'determine']

Nadia, the post by 'determine' is already up there. Anyway, heres the same and a lil more.
Married women have higher rates of depression than unmarried women, but the reverse is true for men. Marriage seems to confer a greater protective advantage on men than on women. In unhappy marriages, women are three times as likely as men to be depressed. Women's risk of depressive symptoms and demoralization is higher among mothers of young children and increases with the number of children in the house (McGrath et al., 1990).

I'm still surprised. What I wrote is from BRS behavioral science by Barbara Fadem.
