Diabetes mellitus type II with depression in geriatric population

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: Several facets of daily life are impacted by mental health, including how you handle stress, think and feel, interact with people, and make decisions. It makes sense that having a mental health issue could make it more difficult to follow your diabetes treatment plan. Diabetes complications and untreated mental health concerns can both exacerbate each other’s effects. Depression is a medical condition that results in depressed feelings and frequently a loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities. It may interfere with your ability to manage your diabetes and perform effectively at work and at home. Your chance of developing diabetic complications including heart disease and nerve damage increases when you are unable to effectively manage your blood sugar levels. The daily routine traffic jams, family obligations, and daily diabetes care are all sources of stress. Methods: Articles searched from Pubmed central and other search engines for articles related to psychological therapeutic intervention. Results: Stress can manifest as an emotion, such as fear or rage, as a physical response, such as perspiration or a racing heart, or both. Blood sugar levels can be impacted as well because stress hormones cause blood sugar to fluctuate erratically and because stress from illness or injury can cause blood sugar to rise. Long-term stress might cause other health issues or exacerbate existing ones. The mind and body respond to stress by feeling anxious, which can include anxiety, fear, or tenseness. Anxiety is 20% more common among diabetics than among non-diabetics at some time in their lives. Conclusion: These overwhelming emotions, sometimes referred to as diabetes distress, might make you develop bad habits, stop monitoring your blood sugar, and even forget about scheduled doctor’s appointments. The majority of persons with diabetes experience it, frequently following years of effective control.
