Diabetes and mental health are closely intertwined, with diabetes influencing mental well-being and vice versa. Managing diabetes can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and depression due to the demands of self-care, potential complications, and the impact on daily life. Conversely, mental health conditions can adversely affect diabetes management by contributing to poor adherence to medication, diet, and exercise regimens, thereby leading to worse glycemic control and increased risk of complications. The chronic nature of diabetes can also contribute to emotional distress and psychological issues. Addressing these challenges requires a holistic approach that includes psychological support, education about the relationship between diabetes and mental health, regular screening for psychological symptoms, and integrating mental health care into diabetes management plans. Effective management of both diabetes and mental health can improve overall quality of life and health outcomes for individuals living with diabetes.
