简要总结
This study is a randomised, parallel group, placebo controlled trial to see the effect of psychoeducation along with treatment as usual on short-term outcome in 154 patients with depression aged 60 years and above. It is a single centred study to be conducted in the Department of Geriatric Mental Health, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. The intervention is that psychoeducation video will be shown to the case group and the control group will be shown placebo-psychoeducation video.
