title: Depression in adolescents with diabetes.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Prevalence and interventions for depression in youth with type 1 diabetes.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To explore the co-morbidity of youth with diabetes and psychiatric conditions, and evaluate the relationship of youth with co-morbid depression and diabetes on glycemic control, quality of life, family support, behavioral problems, attributional style, and self-esteem.
  
  
  METHODS
  Relevant literature in both child and adolescent populations of psychiatry, psychology, and nursing.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Youth with type 1 diabetes have significantly higher rates of depression over the general population. Seratonin reuptake inhibitors, cognitive behavioral treatment, interpersonal therapy, improving family communication and problem-solving skills, and diabetes education hold promise as treatment that can decrease depression in youth with diabetes. Advanced practice nurses are positioned to provide these interventions and treatments.
