Beck inventory questionnaire for depression was used for data collection. Beck inventory is a depression screening test having 21 indicators 13for cognitive and 8 for physical symptoms. To analyze the data, the Beck test scores for each case were added. Scores of 0–9 were considered as "without depression", 10-16 "slight depression", 17–29 "moderate depression" and scores of 30-63 as "severe depression". Chi–square test and spearman correlation coefficient were used for data analysis
