Abstract

According to the World Health Report, approximately 450 million people suffer from a mental or behavioral disorder. This amounts of 12.3% of the global burden of disease, and will rise to 15% by 2020. Depression is most prevalent mental disorder and it is recognized to be symptomatically, psychologically and biologically heterogeneous. The crude methanolic extract of Acacia nilotica bark with different soluble partitionates were subjected to investigate for the evaluation of analgesic, hypoglycemic, CNS depressant and antidiarrheal activity on mice and thrombolytic, antihelmentic, antimicrobial, antioxidant along with cytotoxicity different in vivo experiment. The crude methanolic extract of bark of Acacia nilotica were evaluated for antidepressant activity showed insignificant value.
