Depression and diabetes
Abstract
The comorbidity of mental and physical disorders is a major challenge for health care worldwide. Its prevalence is increasing and is likely to continue to grow due to the increase in life expectancy and a variety of other reasons. The comorbidity of depression and diabetes can be seen as a prototypical example of mental/physical comorbidity. The prevalence of both conditions is growing, and depression is twice as frequent in people with diabetes compared with those without diabetes. Health services are by and large inadequately prepared to deal with comorbid depression and diabetes, and the increasing specialization (and fragmentation) of medicine will probably make things worse. This paper reviews the epidemiology and risk factors of the comorbidity of depression and diabetes and describes areas that should be given attention in order to reduce problems arising as a result of the comorbidity of these two conditions.
La comorbilidad de los trastornos mentales y físicos constituye un gran desafío para la atención de salud en todo el mundo. Su prevalencia está aumentando y es probable que continúe creciendo debido al incremento en la expectativa de vida y a una variedad de otras razones. La comorbilidad de depresión y diabetes puede ser vista como un ejemplo prototípico de la comorbilidad física/mental. La prevalencia de ambas condiciones está creciendo, y la depresión es dos veces más frecuente en personas con diabetes en comparación con las no-diabéticas. En general, los servicios de salud no están preparados para enfrentar adecuadamente la depresión y la diabetes comórbidas, y el aumento de la espetialización (y fragmentación) de la medicina probablemente empeorará las cosas. Este artículo revisa la epidemiología y los factores de riesgo de la comorbilidad de depresión y diabetes, y describe áreas en las que hay que poner atención para reducir los problemas que surgen como resultado de la comorbilidad de estas dos condiciones.
La comorbidité des troubles physiques et mentaux représente un défi majeur pour les soins de santé dans le monde. Leur prévalence augmente et continuera probablement à croître en raison de l'augmentation de l'espérance de vie et d'autres facteurs. La comorbidité de la dépression et du diabète peut être observée comme un exemple typique de la comorbidité somatique/mentale. La prévalence des deux maladies augmente et la dépression est deux fois plus fréquente chez les diabétiques que chez les non-diabétiques. Les services de santé sont dans l'ensemble mal préparés à leur prise en charge et la spécialisation (ainsi que la fragmentation) croissante de la médecine va probablement aggraver les choses. Dans cet article, nous analysons l'épidémiologie et les facteurs de risque de la comorbidité dépression et diabète et nous décrivons les domaines sur lesquels se concentrer afin de diminuer les problèmes consécutifs à cette comorbidité.
