With the rapid development the society the persons are having feelings o f sadness, loss, anger, or frustrations which interfere with everyday life for an extended period o f time resulting in the appearance o f various psychological problems, out o f which depression is most common having a prevalance o f 15.1% in India. Severe depression causes various physiological abnormalities leading to various co-morbid conditions. But there is very little literature available about moderate depression; hence the present study is designed to study the effect o f moderate depression on the autonomic system by galvanic skin response and cold pressor test. We studied 40 male patients (to avoid gender difference) o f moderate depression and 40 normal subjects of* same age group at rest in supine position (to avoid posture effect). Galvanic skin response was recorded and compared between these two groups. Comparison of*these two groups showed that GSR is not significantly different in moderate depression patients than that from the normal subjects. Though the major depression is associated with various co- morbid conditions but moderate depression hardly affects the autonomic system. Hence it is better to diagnose and treat the depression at moderate state.Keywords
