| description | Background: Depression is one of the most common mental disorders. There is evidence that depression is more common among college students. Diminished capacity to do regular chores and decreased quality of life are frequent complaints. The objectives of our study are to assess the depression in gender disparity and to assess the depression in the field of pharmacy on graduate and undergraduate students. Materials and Methods: In India, from the state of Gujarat, 7 institutes participated in the study. The updated Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was implemented in this investigation. The sample size is 370 in total. Results: Among 370 students, 56.49% were male and 43.51% were female. The study has shown that students of pharmacy who lived at their relative's place have experienced severe depression in a greater number (81.36%). Mild depression was commonly found in students who lived at home (35.32%). Students who were new to course, i.e., 1st-year students in a greater number have experienced severe depression (67.19%). A greater number of students from colleges of the east-central area suffered from severe depression (33.78%). Severe depression was found to be common in M. Pharm students among all students (70.83%). Conclusion: The study indicated that male students were more likely than female students to experience more depression. Students who were new to the course and students who were in master degree had a higher risk of severe depression. |
