The relationship between diabetes and depression
(review)
Diabetes Mellitus seems to be the most common disease that affects almost everyone in the world. From kids to adults to senior citizens. Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not use the produced insulin effectively. Insulin is a hormone that controls the blood sugar level. Majority of the food we eat is converted into glucose which will then be released into the bloodstream for the use of the body. However, when there is far too much glucose in the bloodstream, it sends a signal to the pancreas to produce small clusters of cells called islets of Langerhans which consists of β-cells which secrets insulin directly into the bloodstream. When there is far too much sugar in the body when there is insufficient insulin or when the cells stop responding to the insulin, this can lead to health issues such as heart disease, vision loss and kidney disease. Depression on the other hand known as major depressive disorder or clinical depression is very common mood disorder that has a negative impact on how we feel, think and act. Striking at any age, it causes a variety of physical and emotional problems to the extent where one may not feel life isn’t worth living. Though the relationship between diabetes and depression may very well lead to several other diseases, the relationship between the two can be controlled by either limiting the factors of one another or simultaneously treating both. There are many evidences that no doubt shows the correlation between diabetes and depression. This article introduces and discusses the relationship between diabetes mellitus and depression.
