چکیده
Keeping in mind the shortcomings of previous transcultural studies on depression, we have compared in detail the symptomatology of depression, between samples from India and U.S.A. taking them to be representatives of eastern and western cultures respectively. Symptoms of fifty patients from India are compared with the same set of symptoms of sixty four patients of depression reported from U.S.A. The core symptoms were similar in both the samples. Many interesting differences as well as similarities are found between the two samples.
