This article seeks to understand the importance of certain social dimensions in the depressive process. Following a brief summary of littérature dealing in the social factors of depression, the author looks at how unemployment impacts on the trajectory of women at grips with depressive episodes. As well, the author examines the role of social support as a structural factor in the experience of depressive women. The approach is inductive and based on the perusal of life stories collected from francophone women in New-Brunswick.
