Her study of 185 people with major depression (83 with treatment-resistant depression & 102 with moderate to severe major depression) showed a remission. "While 59% of 83 patients with treatment-resistant forms responded, 41% are now in remission," said Dr Sonawalla. Remission is a period symptoms. "Usually, 30% patients respond to other treatments."
Psychiatrist Dr Harish Shetty said, "The milder varieties respond to exercise, yoga, counselling, while others may need medication, psychotherapy and help." The key to end depression is early identification, he said.
