Aims:
The aim of the study is comparing the psychiatric symptom in Type1 DM, Type 2 DM and controls.
Methods:
The study was designed as case control study and conducted between September 2011 and April 2012 to the Diabetes Clinic. Age, gender and education level matched 70 type 1 diabetics, 68 type 2 diabetics and 70 controls included to the study. SCL-90-R [Symptom Check List-90 (Revised)] test is used for determining the psychiatric symptom rates.
Results:
It was found that the rate of somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, anger-hostility and additional scales were significantly different in type 1, type 2 diabetics and controls ((p = 0.023, p = 0.008, p = 0.018 and p = 0.039, respectively). Compared to control group, being a patient with type 1 or type 2 Diabetes found as a risk factor for somatization, depression, anger-hostility and additional scales. Moreover being a patient with type 1 DM was found as a risk factor for having OBS symptoms (p = 0.039) and type 1 DM was protective against having interpersonal sensitivity symptoms (p = 0.006).
Conclusion:
In diabetic patient groups, an increase in the rate of psychiatric symptoms was observed. Therefore a careful psychiatric examination is required in DM.
