Full description

Across the world, both Diabetes and Psychiatric disorders are on rise. Diabetes strongly affects disability, mortality, and global health expenditure. Diabetes mellitus is a disabling long-term health condition that is common and growing. Globally, it affects 10.5% of the population and is the leading cause of lost disability-adjusted life years Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune disease characterized by insulin deficiency and resultant hyperglycemia. It constitutes around 10% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes and its incidence is increasing globally. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by an increase in normal serum glucose levels (hyperglycemia).

Psychological disorders can occur in people with diabetes of all ages. Type 1 diabetes seems to have a higher prevalence of psychological disorders than type 2 diabetes.

About 15%-20% of people with diabetes are suffering from depression. the exact cause of depression in people with diabetes is unknown, it is likely complex due to a combination of genetic, physiological, and psychological factors. Depression and anxiety could worsen the prognosis of diabetes by reducing the patients' ability to self-care and increasing non-compliance to treatments while increasing the risk of serious short-term and long-term complications such as blindness, amputations, stroke, and even premature death.
