Prevalence of depression was higher in study participants with chronic morbidity (20.4%) as compared to those who had no chronic morbidity (15.8%) and this difference was found statistically significant (p value <0.05). Conclusion: In the end it can be concluded that the prevalence of depression among adults in an urban area of Haryana was found to be 16.2%.Presence of chronic co-morbidities was significantly associated with depression.
