“…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].…”

The chances to appear symptoms of depression increase with worsening diabetes complications [33,37,38,[40][41][42]. Researchers reported that depression contributes to poorer physical and mental functioning, so a person who has diabetes is less likely to comply with a required diet or medication plan [17,20,28].…”

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.

Short Sleep Duration and Circadian Rhythms: Association with Suicidal Behaviour

Abstract:The current lifestyles in modern societies promote a behaviourally-induced sleep deprivation and circadian rhythm alterations. Some sleep disorders influence the development of suicidal behaviours. This study aims to review the literature exploring the association of both short sleep duration and sleep circadian rhythms with suicidal behaviours. A review was conducted in the PubMed database, using the query ("circadian rhythms" OR "sleep" OR "sleep disorders") AND ("suicide" OR "suicidal behaviour" OR "suicidality"). The results were filtered for the last 10 years, with 522 results. Studies relating sleep disorders or circadian rhythms with suicidal behaviours, using a well-defined index for sleep disorders, and any measure of suicidal behaviour, were included. After the selection criteria, 48 studies were selected for qualitative analysis. An association between short sleep duration and an increased risk of suicidal behaviour was found in most of the studies with children/adolescents and adults. Particularly, studies measuring weekend vs. weekday sleep duration suggest a concrete role of behaviourally-induced sleep deprivation in this increased risk. Contrastingly, in studies with the elderly, that association was not significant. For sleep circadian rhythms, the studies point to an association between an evening-type chronotype and suicidal behaviours. The results suggest a significant association of short sleep duration and evening-type chronotype with suicidal behaviours, for youth and adults. Both sleep disorders could be connected through a behaviourally-induced sleep deprivation. These associations can provide possible fields of intervention to prevent suicide.

ObjectivesSouth Africa institute one of the world's strictest lockdown during the COVID‐19 pandemic, which generated heightened conditions of psychosocial stress and posed widespread mental health risks. Despite the elevated burdens of suicidal behaviors and risk of psychiatric disease in the country, few studies have examined the impacts of psychosocial stress from the pandemic on suicidal ideation in South Africa. This study examined the association between psychosocial stress experienced under the COVID‐19 pandemic and adult suicidal ideation, as well as degree to which sleep quality and duration mediated this relationship.MethodsAn online survey assessed experiences of COVID‐19 psychosocial stress, sleep quality and duration, and suicidal ideation in a sample of 189 South African adults during the second and third waves of the COVID‐19 pandemic. A causal inference framework for mediation analysis was used to assess the degree to which sleep quality and duration explained the association between COVID‐19 psychosocial stress and suicidal ideation.ResultsSuicidal ideation was reported in 21% of adults. Adults described having moderate sleep quality and an average of 6.9 hours of sleep per night. COVID‐19 psychosocial stress significantly predicted adult suicidal ideation in fully adjusted models. Sleep quality, but not sleep duration, significantly mediated the association between COVID‐19 psychosocial stress and suicidal ideation, accounting for 25.9% of the total effect.ConclusionsPoor sleep quality may play an important role in exacerbating the alarming stress‐induced mental health effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Further research is necessary to understand the underlying sleep dynamics and associated psychological and neurobiological processes that perpetuate adult suicidal ideation.
