Abstract
Background: Depression is common among people with diabetes and it is associated with poor outcomes. This study was
carried out to investigate the association of depression with various complications of type 2 diabetes and to find out any
correlation between type of complications and depression. Methods: 200 patients with established T2DM attending the
Outpatient department and indoor wards of Medicine Department of Rajindra Hospital, Patiala were evaluated for
depression by a previously validated depression questionnaire [PHQ-12 item]. Results: Patients with T2DM (n=200) were
evaluated [94 (47%) male and 106 (53%) female]. Maximum number of patients i.e. 68(34%) were in 51-60 years age
group. 57(28.5%) patients out of 200 had depression. Depression was commonly associated with retinopathy (68.57%),
followed by neuropathy (61.2%), nephropathy (59.57%) & CAD (25.45%). It was most commonly associated with PDR (100
%) and least commonly with CAD. Conclusion: This study showed high prevalence of depression in patients with T2DM.
The prevalence of depression is higher in T2DM subjects with retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy compared to those
without the respective complications. The Chances of becoming depressed increased with increase in number of
complications.
