The treatment of depression should involve pharmacological treatment along with the various kinds of psychotherapies (non-pharmacological management).

The patients were assessed using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17 items (HAMD), Geriatric Depression Scale (Hindi version) (GDS-H) on baseline visit (Day 0), on first follow-up (Day 14), and second follow-up (Day 28).
