In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the multiple
interrelationships between depression and various physical
diseases. The WPA is providing an update of currently available
evidence on these interrelationships by the publication of three
books, dealing with the comorbidity of depression with diabetes,
heart disease and cancer.
Depression is a frequent and serious comorbid condition in
diabetes, which adversely affects quality of life and the long-term
prognosis. Co-occurrent depression presents peculiar clinical
challenges, making both conditions harder to manage.
Depression and Diabetes is the first book devoted to the
interaction between these common disorders. World leaders in
diabetes, depression and public health synthesize current evidence,
including some previously unpublished data, in a concise,
easy-to-read format. They provide an overview of the epidemiology,
pathogenesis, medical costs, management, and public health and
cultural implications of the comorbidity between depression and
diabetes. The book describes how the negative consequences of
depression in diabetes could be avoided, given that effective
depression treatments for diabetic patients are available.
Its practical approach makes the book ideal for all those
involved in the management of these patients: psychiatrists,
psychologists, diabetologists, general practitioners, diabetes
specialist nurses and mental health nurses.
