Abstract

The prevalence of depression among farmers in India has been the focus of increasing research interest, with pesticide exposure identified as a significant risk factor. This review paper examines the existing literature on the relationship between pesticide exposure and the development of depressive symptoms among Indian farmers, considering neurotoxic effects and the mechanisms through which pesticides may impact mental health. The paper also discusses implications for health policy and preventive measures.

KEYWORDS: Depression, Indian farmers, Pesticide exposure, Mental health, Neurotoxicity.
