Five percent of India�s population which comprises of about six crore people suffer from depression. This is because the lifestyle of people has undergone a drastic change. People hanker for materialistic pursuits and they have become very self-centered. Economic disparity has broken up society. In the name of independence young boys and girls are moving towards character disintegration and at the end they are disillusioned leading to depression.�
