> Women aren't more "neurotic", that simply isn't true

They're half a standard deviation more neurotic and have a very slightly wider distribution[1]. This means that there won't be much difference between the average man and woman but that the extremes of neuroticism that doctors experience (and memory!) will be biased towards will be heavily woman dominated.
