Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and depression exhibit a complex bidirectional relationship that profoundly impacts patient health and quality of life. This review explores the physiological mechanisms, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuroendocrine dysregulation, that link these conditions. Psychosocial factors such as social support and lifestyle choices also contribute significantly. Epidemiological insights reveal a higher prevalence of depression among diabetics and an increased risk of diabetes in depressed individuals, influenced by demographic variables. Integrated management strategies combining mental health assessments and personalized treatments are essential. Future research should focus on longitudinal and multi-omics studies to deepen understanding and improve therapeutic outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Psychiatry (WJP) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJP is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of psychiatry. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJP is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJP are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in psychiatry.
