A Performa was made consisting of self-framed questionnaire. It consisted of knowledge and coping strategies employed in relation to depressive disorders among adolescents. All the results were recorded on a Microsoft excel sheet and were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results: A total of 100 subjects were enrolled. The mean age of the patients was 15.4 years. 57 percent of the subjects were boys while the remaining were girls. 77 subjects were of urban residence while the remaining were of rural residence.
