“…In comparison, another study found that the prevalence of depression ranged from 31.4% to 46.9% among slum-dwelling older persons in India (Dasgupta et al, 2014; Ganganapalli & Kurre, 2019). Another study from India reported a prevalence of severe anxiety among older women of about 41.2% (Grover et al, 2018). The present study also suggests that 20.2% suffered from severe cognitive impairment, which is consistent with a study that shows a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment in some states of northern India (Sengupta et al, 2014).…”

“…Similarly, data are also limited with respect to comorbidity. Although, in recent times, there have been multicentric studies from India which evaluated the symptom profile of depression in adult [72] and elderly patients, [73] no multicentric study from India has evaluated the symptom profile of depression in children and adolescents in the Indian context. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to carry out a multicentric study to evaluate various aspects of depression in children and adolescents.…”

“…Thus, although these findings cannot be simply explained, they may be partly based on the report that depressive symptom profiles of South Asians were characterized by significant preponderances of loss of interest, poor concentration, and poor appetite compared to those of East and Southeast Asians in other findings of the REAP‐AD survey . In 488 Indian elderly patients with depression, ‘feeling tired or having little energy’ was the most prevalent depressive symptom, followed by ‘not being able to stop or control worry,’ ‘trouble sleeping,’ ‘trouble relaxing,’ ‘worry too much about different things,’ and others . Also, these findings suggest that rather than fatigue or loss of energy, persistent sadness or low mood and loss of interests or pleasure are the most central symptoms among the ICD‐10 diagnostic criteria for depressive episodes for South or Southeast Asian patients with depressive disorders.…”

“…Thus, as mentioned earlier, the network structure of depressive symptom profiles in Asian patients of high‐income countries may be partly supported by clinical characteristics of Japanese or Korean patients with depressive disorders and influenced by Confucianism or Neo‐Confucianism . Furthermore, the network structure in Asian patients of middle‐income countries may be partly supported by clinical characteristics of Chinese, Indian, or Malaysian patients with depressive disorders . Although completed suicides have been predominant in Chinese women, suicidal ideation has been considered to be an independent factor of depression outside of high‐income countries .…”
