“…In diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, emotional disorders are more common than in the general population (Wändell et al, 2014), especially anxiety and depression which also often are difficult to detect by the healthcare staff (Poulsen et al, 2016), and also show a deep impact on quality of life (Goldney et al, 2004; Wändell, 1999). Emotional disorders also have a negative impact on disease management (Katon et al, 2007), which can accelerate diabetes progression as well.…”

We studied emotional health in patients with diabetes mellitus (n = 89) or rheumatoid arthritis (n = 100) aged 18–65 years, at the time of diagnosis and after 24 months. Predictors for depression or anxiety according to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale after 2 years were assessed by logistic regression, with psychosocial factors and coping as dependent factors. There were many similarities between patients with diabetes mellitus or rheumatoid arthritis. Having children at home, low score on the Sense of Coherence scale, and high score on the coping strategy “protest” were important risk factors for depression and anxiety after 2 years.

Objective: To explore the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of primary care physicians with regard to depression, as well as the association of personal and professional factors with these parameters. Method: Through a self-administered questionnaire, all 42 public sector primary care physicians in the Jamaican parishes of Kingston and St. Andrew were surveyed on their demographic characteristics, medical training and career trajectory, as well as on KAP parameters related to depression. Possible associations among the KAP parameters and other variables were explored with non-parametric statistical tests. Statistical significance was taken at p < 0.05.Results: Two-thirds of physicians felt that they were not adequately trained to deal with depression and less than 20% routinely screened patients with chronic illnesses for depression. Overall, positive attitudes towards persons with depression were prominent.However, negative attitudes towards persons with depression were encountered more commonly among foreign nationals and among persons who had received their medical training overseas (p< 0.05). Physicians earlier in their careers had a greater tendency to view the prescription of antidepressant medications as the exclusive purview of mental health specialists (p< 0.05). Conclusion:There is scope for further training and sensitization of primary care physicians on issues related to depression. Persons earlier in their careers may benefit from particular emphasis on attitudes towards the management of depression. Foreign nationals and overseas-trained physicians may benefit from particular emphasis on attitudes towards persons with depression.

Introduction: As the global number of diabetes and the burden of depression together with other mental disorders increases, there is a need for better understanding of the connection between these diseases. In patients with diabetes, mental disorders are more common than in the general population, especially anxiety disorders and depression, which are often difficult to detect by health professionals.Material and methods: Using the keywords searched in the international bibliographic databases: Embase, Medline, Science Direct, Web of Science. We analyzed clinical trials published in English and international journalsResults: Patients with diabetes are exposed to serious physical and mental complications. The occurence of depression and psychiatric disorders among people with diabetes was twice as frequent as in the general population. There are also studies showing a higher risk of suicide among people with diabetes. In addition, patients with both diseases, diabetes and depression, had an increased risk of cardiovascular complications and increased mortality and higher costs of health care. Diabetic patients have increased incidence of anxiety disorders in relation to non-diabetic patients by 20%.Conclusion: Further researches and integration of medical and psychological treatment are needed. Cooperation between psychiatrists and diabetologists can reduce mental and physical harm in patients with diabetes.
