Description
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 World leaders in diabetes, depression and public health synthesize current evidence, including some previously unpublished data, in a concise, easy-to-read format.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.
