“…This finding is higher than the 11%, 14%, 17% and 33.4% prevalence rates in, comparable to the 39% and 40.5% prevalence among Hispanic people in South Texas and Northeastern Mexico, but lower than the 46%-72% prevalence rates reported in some other countries [28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. In Jordan, Al Amer et al, 2011 found that the prevalence of depression among Jordanian subjects with type 1 and type-2 diabetes was 20% and was associated with gender, educational level, insulin treatment, low self-management behaviors and increased barriers to adherence.…”

“…Our finding contrasts the report from Texas, USA, where female gender and a lower duration of formal education were predictors of depression. 7 Our study is not without limitations. Firstly, it was conducted at one centre, which limits the generalisation of our findings.…”

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.

“…This finding was in agreement with a previous study that reported less number of years of formal education as significantly associated with depression among subjects with diabetes. 31 By extrapolation, subjects with less education or no formal education may earn less as they are likely to get poorly paid jobs. Subjects with low earning power face the burden of maintaining life style changes that could sustain cost of medication adherence and dietary restrictions necessary for good glycaemic control in diabetes mellitus.…”

“…22 However, this contrasts with a report of another study that found significant associations between female and depression among the subjects with diabetes mellitus. 31 Correlates of suicidal behaviour Suicidal behaviour (ideation, plan and attempt) was likely in subjects with diabetes mellitus if they had no formal education while in patients with essential hypertension suicidal behaviour was likely in females, those not married and those not educated. Diabetes mellitus may have profound effects on physical health, emotional health and quality of life.…”

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.
