Depression among Tuberculosis patients and its association with treatment outcomes in district Srinagar

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is among the top 10 causes of death worldwide and there are estimated 10.4 million new (incident) patients, of which about one fourth are in India. There has been calls for rigorous investigations and interventions that may address other factors known to have effect on...
