“…Consistent with a crisis perspective, these studies generally show recovery over time. Incidentally, however, a study of Swedish men found that remarriage was not associated with reduced depression (Hiyoshi, Fall, Netuveli, & Montgomery, ).…”

This article reviews key developments in the past decade of research on divorce, repartnering, and stepfamilies. Divorce rates are declining overall, but they remain high and have risen among people older than age 50. Remarriage rates have declined, but the overall proportion of marriages that are remarriages is rising. Transitions in parents' relationships continue to be associated with reduced child well‐being, but shifting patterns of divorce and repartnering during the past decade have also reshaped the family lives of older adults. We review research on the predictors and consequences of these trends and consider what they reveal about the changing significance of marriage as an institution. Overall, recent research on divorce, repartnering, and stepfamilies points to the persistence of marriage as a stratified and stratifying institution and indicates that the demographic complexity of family life is here to stay.

“…Interpersonal or financial difficulties resulting from remarriage may outweigh the benefits of marriage in terms of depression risk 11 . The high prevalence of depression in separated or divorced individuals is due to both an increased risk of marital disruption in those with major depression, and also to the higher risk of this disorder in those with divorced or separated marital status.…”

Today, depression is estimated to affect 350 million people. 1 It is estimated that by the year 2020, the burden of depression will increase to 5.7% of the total burden of the disease and by 2030; it is expected to be the largest contributor to disease burden. 2,3 Women are about twice as likely as men to suffer from depression. This two-toone difference persists across racial, ethnic, and economic divides. One out of eight women will have an episode of major depression at some time in her life. 4 ABSTRACT Background: Depression is not "one size fits all," particularly when it comes to the genders. Many factors contribute to the unique picture of depression in women-from reproductive hormones to social pressures to the female response to stress. It is estimated that by the year 2020, the burden of depression will be increased to 5.7% of the total burden of the disease. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted and 1000 married females were selected by systematic random sampling from rural and urban areas of District, Amritsar, India. Pretested and predesigned questionnaire and PHQ9 scale was used to obtain valid results. Results: In this study, 269 women are found to be suffering from depression as per the scale applied. Respondents having no social involvement are more prone to depression (31.1%) and majority of those, who faced some problem in public places, were found to be depressed (28.8%).11.2% women were depressed amongst those who act skilfully in response to a problem. 29.6% amongst those who got panic while 34.7% were found to be depressed amongst those who had an escapist attitude. Conclusions: Awareness through public education, early detection and organized national mental health programs can curb the increasing epidemic of depression.

“…The relationship between remarriage and health does not strictly distinguish between remarriage after widowhood and remarriage after divorce, which may introduce some heterogeneity [18]. The conclusions reached by studies vary from country to country.…”

Background : Marriage has a positive effect on health. After the dissolution of a marriage, the health of divorcees worsens. The focus of this paper is on whether remarriage can help a person regain the health benefits that comes with marriage. Methods: This study used the national baseline data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), a survey conducted from 2011 to 2012, this article applies instrumental variables to deal with the endogenous problems and to investigate the association between remarriage after divorce and late-life health. Result: According to descriptive statistics, among the 235 middle-aged and elderly respondents with a history of divorce, 46% remarried, 75% of them thought their SRH was fair or bad, 15% of them suffered from ADL impairment and the scale score for depression averaged 9.33 ( SD =7.1). According to the regression results, compared with divorcees who have not remarried, those who remarry suffer less from depression and have better self-rated health. There are gender differences reflected in the relationship between remarriage after divorce and mental health. Remarriage can promote the mental health of men, but there is no significant correlation between remarriage and the mental health of women. Conclusion: Marriage has a protective effect on health, and remarriage can help people regain the health benefits. Key words: ADL ; Depression; Self-rated health ; Instrumental variable; Remarriage after divorce
