Description
Diabetes is a chronic disease which affects virtually every organ in the human system. The World Health Organization projected that 300 million people will suffer from diabetes by 20251. India has the largest number of diabetic population in the world and it is expected that there will be 69.9 million diabetic populations in India by 2025 (1). Depression is common among people with diabetes (2), and it is associated with worse diabetes outcomes (3,4). The prevalence of depression is higher in patients with diabetes who have long-term complications (4,5). Compared with patients with diabetes alone, patients with depression and diabetes have been shown to have poorer self-management and poor adherence to antidiabetic, lipid-lowering and antihypertensive treatment (6). They are more likely to have higher cardiovascular risk factors like smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and uncontrolled hyperglycaemia (5). Depression may be an important barrier to effective diabetes management. Patients with depression and diabetes are more likely to have higher macrovascular and microvascular complications (4) and higher mortality rates (7).
