“…As reported by global and national epidemiological studies,[ 4 , 5 , 8 ] women had higher prevalence rate of depressive disorders and highest contribution of total disability adjusted life years (DALYs) among mental disorders due to major depressive disorders. Higher prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe depression among males as seen in our study [ Table 4 ] have been observed in studies before as well,[ 42 , 43 ] further indicating the impact of complex psychosocial factors associated with unemployment, income, and marital status reported spuriously in India during the first and second wave of COVID-19 pandemic. [ 44 - 47 ] However, as positive domains of mental health maintained with the help of psychiatric services offered through offline and tele-consultation, the respondents experienced lower grades of depressive features than usual.…”

“…In the current study, target population consisted of patients received by the tertiary care center from the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Goa, and Andhra Pradesh which have been repeatedly observed to account for high Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) of depressive disorders. [ 4 , 5 , 48 ] The higher prevalence of moderate and severe depression in our study was observed in other studies as well using DASS-21 and PHQ during COVID-19,[ 43 , 45 , 46 , 49 ] even reaching up to 62%-point prevalence among psychiatric population and 1.2% among the general population overall. Studies conducted among general population in pre-COVID times, that is, from 2009 to 2019 have also shown variable rates of severity of depression along with prevalence.…”

Background: Treatment gap for common mental health problems, especially of the depressive disorders is consequential in developing countries like India. Positive mental health domains like resilience and self-compassion have been long hailed as protective factors against depression and viable for use in therapeutic aspects. The objectives were to find an association between resilience, self-compassion, and depression. Methods: The study was conducted using a cross-sectional design among 75 respondents who were seeking treatment for major depressive disorders from a tertiary care center during the second wave of COVID-19. Three scales were administered online, namely Beck’s Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD RISC-25), and Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF). Spearman’s rank correlation test, Chi-square with Fisher’s exact test, and Kruskal Wallis H test were used to study the relationships and differences in average scores with respect to the severity of depression. Results: Most of the respondents had moderate depressive features along with moderately high levels of resilience (CD RISC 25) and self-compassion (SCS-SF) scores. Resilience and self-compassion were found to have no significant relationship with respect to the severity of depression. There was a weakly positive correlation between resilience and self-compassion among those with moderate and severe depression. Conclusion: Since the individuals with depression had higher scores on resilience and self-compassion, the levels of depression remained at moderate levels of severity despite the devastating impact of the second wave of COVID-19 in the Indian sub-continent. Results are to be interpreted with respect to psychosocial contexts arising during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health programs can incorporate the variables of resilience and self-compassion in intervention among individuals with depression which have likely been beneficial in their process of recovery.

biperiden treatment. Our patient did not have any psychiatric diagnosis other than depression, nor did she have any physical disease that would predispose her to acute dystonia. Her neurologic investigations and examinations were normal, and she scored 7 points on the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale, which strongly supported the dystonia picture. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third case of dystonic reaction related to sertraline treatment in the pediatric age group.Although SSRIs is quite safe in terms of EPS adverse effects, we report that this possibility should always be in the minds of physicians and close follow-up is important. AUTHOR DISCLOSURE INFORMATIONThe authors declare no conflicts of interest. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient's parents and herself for all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures described in this report, and they also provided consent for the publication of this case report in a scientific journal.
