“…Furthermore, the prevalence of depression symptoms using a cut-off score of 10 and above on the BDI was 39.5%, which was also higher than the range of 20 -31% observed in other studies in the country employing the use of rating scales alone. [10][11][12] We found a significant correlation between earning power, having more children and depression symptom severity as measured by the BDI. DM is a chronic physical disorder that requires lifestyle alterations and medication adherence for its successful treatment.…”

Objectives. Depression is associated with diabetes mellitus and affects treatment goals negatively. We aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and identify its socio-demographic or clinical correlates among patients with diabetes mellitus attending an out-patient clinic in Nigeria.Methods. Two hundred consecutively recruited diabetes patients (index group) were compared with a similar number of apparently healthy controls in a cross-sectional survey. In both groups, in addition to obtaining socio-demographic details, depression was diagnosed using the Schedule for the Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN), while the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to assess depression symptom severity. Results. Sixty (30%) diabetes patients met a SCAN diagnosis for clinical depression, compared with 19 (9.5%) in the control group. Having a smaller income and more children were significantly correlated with higher depression symptoms on the BDI.Conclusion. Depression is highly co-morbid with diabetes mellitus. The care of individuals with diabetes mellitus should include the screening and possible treatment for depression in order to achieve and sustain treatment goals.

“…3 Social relationships may also be severely affected and commonly emotional responses like withdrawal, loneliness, guilt feelings, hopelessness and suicidal ideation have been noted. 4 Emotional and psychological disorders may affect the quality of life of the patients and may have deleterious concomitants like suicidal ideation and behaviour. The risk of suicide has been noted to be higher among patients with physical illnesses than the general population with a prevalence estimate of 22 -60%.…”

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and essential hypertension are chronic medical conditions that place a lot of burden on patients. The presence of depression and suicidal behaviour may worsen the prognosis. Objective: To assess the prevalence of depression and suicidal behaviour in subjects with diabetes mellitus and essential hypertension and also determine the socio-demographic correlates. Methods: Major depressive episode and suicidality modules of Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview were used to assess depression and suicidal behaviour respectively. Results: The prevalence of depression for the subjects with DM was 27.8% and 26.7% for essential hypertension. The subjects with DM had prevalence of 6.3% for suicidal behaviour while essential hypertension had 7.8%. Depression was higher in subjects with DM if they were not married or had no education while the subjects with essential hypertension were more likely to have depression if they were not married, had no education or not employed. Suicidal behaviour was higher in subjects with DM if they had no education while in essential hypertension suicidal behaviour was higher in females, those not married and those not educated. Conclusion: Depression and suicidal behaviour occur with DM and essential hypertension.

“…The study found that women with depressive symptoms had a 17% higher risk of developing diabetes and women who use antidepressants had a 25% higher risk of developing diabetes than those who had not depressive symptoms [35]. This study also found that women with diabetes had a 29% higher chance of depression and women use insulin had a 53% higher risk of depression compared with women patients without diabetes [35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. When insulin is not working well, high blood sugar levels build in the body and the consequence of that is comorbidity in several areas, eyes, heart and mental disorders.…”

“…Risk of suicide appears as a consequence of those mental disorders in some of those studies [14,15,17,18,30]. Several studies suggest that diabetes doubles the risk of depression compared to those without the disorder [1- 4,36,[39][40][41][42]. The chances to appear symptoms of depression increase with worsening diabetes complications [33,37,38,[40][41][42].…”

Depression has been a common comorbidity and reduces the quality of life, the poor glycemic control and consequently worsens the diabetes course. The goals of this systematic review are searching of a population who have higher mental disorders in type 1 and 2 patients with diabetes and if there is a direct relationship between glycemic control and psychiatric disorders in this population. A total of 2527 references, review and review articles were excluded, 19 scientific studies were selected: 9 cross-sectional studies, 6 prospective observational studies, 3 retrospective observational studies, and 1 case-control study. Depression and anxiety have a high prevalence in subjects with diabetes. Therefore, the relevance of this study is showing that those mental disorders have a direct correlation in both types of diabetes treatments and decrease the quality of life. Also, the rates of depression could be up to three times higher in patients with type 1diabetes and twice as high in individuals with type 2 diabetes compared with the general population. Patients live in fear of complications from diabetes over the long term and also have damage due to the high psychiatric comorbidity of these chronic patients.
