Depression is a common problem among older adults. It affects primarily those with medical illnesses in old age. Depression not only makes a person feel physically ill, but also deteriorates psychological wellness and upsurges mortality. Elderly depression averts a person from enjoying things he or she used to find pleasure in and affects his/her memory and concentration. The depressive condition of the person leads to neurological imbalances and obstructs normal functioning of the human brain and the nervous system. Hence, this research sought to assist the elderly to alleviate depression and enhance happiness through 'Humor Based Intervention Program' that is developed by the researchers and to pilot test its practicability and usability in the clinical practice. Making use of a 'Mixed-methods' research design for the development of the program. Geriatric Depression Scale and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) were administrated to measure the level of depression and happiness among the older adults. In order to have a better understanding of the current scenario and prevalence of depression among the older adults, the researchers carried out need-assessment survey, semi-structured interviews and focused-group discussions. Basing on these, researchers developed a twelve-modular intervention program, Humor Based Intervention Program (HBIP), incorporating the Humor Theory and PERMA model happiness theory. The program was subjected to expert validation by seven inter-disciplinary experts and pilot tested with ten older adults. The intervention was positively received by the participants and the results of the pilot test showed a decreased level of depression and increased level of happiness.Keywords

Expressed emotion of the family caregivers is a reliable predictor of relapse in schizophrenia patients. The subjective burden of care affects the caregiver's quality of life and multiple areas of everyday life, leading to the impairment of caregiving role. The impaired caregiving role has negative impact on patient's well-being, course and prognosis of this disorder. Understanding the situation, the researcher developed the Wellness Enhancement Therapy (WET) to reduce Expressed Emotion (EE) and Subjective Caregiver Burden (SCB) of the primary family caregivers of the individuals with schizophrenia. The intervention integrated Cognitive Therapy (CT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) models. Family Questionnaire for expressed emotion (FQ-EE) and Burden Scale for Family Caregivers (BSFC-s) were used as assessment tools. Interviews and Focused -Group Discussions were carried out to have the clear understanding of the problem. The intervention was subjected to experts' validation by six interdisciplinary experts and a feasibility test was conducted with ten primary family caregivers with high EE and SCB. The results of the pilot study revealed that the Wellness Enhancement Therapy had a positive effect on the respondents to reduce Expressed Emotion and Subjective Caregiver Burden.Keywords
