"Some writers have identified more traditional women, such as those who are conservatively religious, as being at higher risk for depression. Since Latter-day Saint women have been included among those thought to be vulnerable to depression, this study investigated the role of religious orientation, traditional family orientation, and perfectionism in relation to depression for both LDS and a group of mainline Protestant women who were included for comparison. No significant difference was found in prevalence of depressive symptoms between Latter-day Saint and Protestant women. Perfectionism correlated significantly with depression for both groups. Personal interview data suggested that LDS women in this study who were mildly depressed exhibit characteristics consistent with depression theories in general. Awareness that elevated depression scores are not more frequent among Latter-day Saint women can assist therapists in avoiding a cultural stereotype when planning appropriate treatment."
