Patients detailed demographics including age, sex, socioeconomic status and residence were recorded after taking written consent. Depression was examined by HADS (hospital anxiety and depression scale) and Beck depression inventory. Data was analyzed by SPSS 24.0.Results: Out of all the patients, 76 (61.29%) were male while 48 (38.71%) were females. Mean age of patients was 39.42±14.65 years. Depression was found in 80 (64.52%) patients. 31 (25%) patients had mild depression, 34 (27.41%) had moderate and 15 (12.10%) patients had severe depression. Association of depression between genders showed that females were more likely to have depression as compared to males and the difference was statistically significant with p-value <0.05.Conclusion: It is concluded that the frequency of depression among patients with bronchial asthma was very high.Keywords: Bronchial Asthma, Depression
