Abstract:
It was hypothesized that those with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus would likely have higher prevalence rates of self-reported depressive symptoms than those diagnosed with nonsystemic diseases in part due to the disability conferred by their diagnosis. Analysis indicated partial support, although, other factors may moderate this relationship.
