“…anxiety, depression, and a decreased quality of life, appear to be minimal regardless of the diagnosis (Adriaanse & Snoek, 2006;Eborall et al, 2007a;Paddison et al, 2011). However, the absence of adverse effects may stem merely from people's tendency not to regard diabetes as a serious disease (Adriaanse et al, 2002;Eborall, Davies, Kinmonth, Griffin, & Lawton, 2007b;Skinner et al, 2006), or to have a low risk perception, due for example to an optimistic bias (Jones, Roche, & Appel, 2009;Kemple, Zlot, & Leman, 2005;Kim et al, 2007). Overall, it seems that responses to screening tend to be fairly indifferent: screening does not appear to cause emotional distress, nor does a negative screening result cause relief (Adriaanse & Snoek, 2006).…”
