Depression and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus


It has been hypothesized that the diabetes-depression relation is bidirectional.
A total of 65 381 women aged 50 to 75 years in 1996 were observed until 2006.
This study´s results provide compelling evidence that the diabetes-depression association is bidirectional.
