Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting the physical, mental, and social aspects of a patient’s life. When examining the diabetic condition, depression and its long-term sequela are just as serious as other diabetic related conditions such as congestive heart failure. In this review the authors have attempted to discuss the key factors involved in diabetic conditions associated with depression.
