FAMILY PROBLEMS MAIN CAUSE OF SUICIDES IN INDIA

According to the WHO report, Indians are among the world's most depressed. Around 9 per cent of people in India reported having an extended period of depression within their lifetime and about 36 per cent suffered from what is called major depressive episode (MDE).


 

MDE is characterized by sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy and poor concentration besides feeling depressed.:

India's hidden burden of depression could seriously spike the country's suicide figures.
