Despite that I still don't think women are inherently more likely to have serious emotional problems than men. Harmonal balance is just one aspect of it.
I have to agree with Ribbons that the human condition is equally miserable for everyone. But still the likelyhood of a guy deciding that a great way to start the day is to shoot up a mall full of people with an uzi is greater than if a women were to do the same thing. Women may have an issue with balance but they seem to be better at coping with stressful and painful life conditions than men.
Women wisely don't try to bottle up their emotions, men do and that's what makes them go apesh*t.
