Abstract
Introduction- Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major public health problem and it is a very common chronic metabolic disorder. There are so many studies which suggest co-morbidity of diabetes with depression and patients with depression have poor disease outcome.
Aim- To study co-morbidity of diabetes and depression in outdoor patients.
Material and Methods- Total 100 patients were studied. Diagnostic criteria of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (type 2 DM) recommended by American Diabetes Association (ADA) was used. DSM IV criteria was adopted to diagnose depression. Hamilton score for depression was used to quantify the depressive symptoms. Plasma glucose values were compared in both the groups.
Results and Conclusion- Prevalence of depression was higher in diabetic patients. Increasing severity of depression was associated with poor glycemic control.
Keywords- Diabetes mellitus, Depression, Outdoor patient department.
