The patient’s life enters into a vicious cycle due to the complications of concurrent depressive disorder.

Materials and Methods: This research was led subsequently receiving authorization from Institutional Ethical Board and inscribed well-versed agreement from the patients in the department of respiratory medicine. The PHQ-9 scale was employed for screening and assessment of despair yielding relevant details. No intervention was administered for the research. The analysis was based on the information obtained from the investigation reports.

Results: Reddy et al. suggested the arbitrary classification of PHQ-9 scores: 0–4 indicates negligible misery, 5–9 minor misery, 10 and higher than indicates reasonable to acute misery. In our research, 39 patients scored PHQ-9 score between 0 and 4, 46 patients scored PHQ-9 score between 5 and 9, and 15 patients scored PHQ-9 score 10 and above.

Conclusion: The occurrence of depression among COPD patients is significantly excessive so validated screening tool for depression is required in COPD management.
