[Frequency and specific features of depressive disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus]
Abstract:
The aim of the work was to study the frequency of depressive conditions and their specific features in 200 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with reference to their quality of life. The patients were subjected to clinical and laboratory examination and interviewed to elucidate their awareness of the disease. The CES-D depression scale and SF-36 questionnaire were used for the purpose. Signs of depression were revealed in 43.5% of the patients. Occurrence of depression positively correlated with diabetic complications and negatively with patients' awareness and quality of life (especially its psychic component). The physical component deteriorated in patients with diabetic complications. The study showed high frequency of depression in DM2 patients and its negative influence on the physical and psychic component of their quality of life.
