Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) ( Beck, Steel & Brown, 1996) and Marital Adjustment Inventory (Har Mohan Singh ,1972) were administered on a sample of 60 depressive patients (30 male and 30 female) with diagnosis of ICD10 were purposively selected for the present study, fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria from Post Graduate Institute of Behavioral & Medical Sciences (PGIBAMS), Raipur, C.G. Patients were taken from both outdoor and indoor departments.
