Essay / Research Paper Abstract
10 pages in length. The relationship between diabetes and depression is an unmistakable - and perhaps unavoidable - occurrence of comorbidity. Each of these articles illustrates the importance of patient self-care and appropriate life choices as a means by which to offset the prevalence toward the comorbidity of depression and diabetes. While one study seeks to determine the most provoking factors that draw out the tendency toward both major and minor depression, another finds no more correlation between depression and diabetes than there is with those who do not have diabetes. Similarly, a third study sought to determine if those with either major depression or diabetes were more or less functionally disabled than those with diabetes and comorbid major depression. Another study examines how different locale and ethic composition impacts comorbidity, while the final article provides a broad overview of how depression and diabetes are often misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

II. TYPE 2 DIABETES DOES NOT INCREASE RISK OF DEPRESSION Summary The prevalence of research indicates a significant correlation between depression and diabetes; however, Brown et al (2006) sought
to determine diabetes was the actual inciter for increased risk. The authors intended to establish whether there was a difference in the presence of depression between those with and
without diabetes. Methods The qualitative methodology of this study utilized a population-based group study that retrospectively examined databases between 1989 and 2001. Primary focus was placed upon
newly-diagnosed patients at least twenty-one years of age. That they had depression was determined by way of specific chart coding and whether any antidepressant prescriptions were noted. Hazard
ratios (HR) were approximated with the combination of Cox regression analysis and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) once adjustments were made for existing comorbidities, regularity of doctor visits, sex and age.
Results Those identified with diabetes were in their early sixties, most often male and made more visits to their doctors in the subsequent twelve-month period following the index date.
