title: Psychiatric disorders in diabetes.
abstract: Diabetes and psychiatric disorders share a bi-directional relationship, with both affecting each other adversely. Just as achieving glycaemic control is important, so is ensuring that the person enjoys a good quality of life. All individuals with diabetes must be screened regularly for co-morbidity, especially depressive and anxiety disorders. Multiple evidence based psychotropic pharmacological interventions are available for management of these psychiatric disorders. Additionally, non-pharmacological interventions play a key role in comprehensive management of such patients.
