Diabetes and depression are two major health issues that often co-exist in the general population. Though these two are isolated conditions, growing evidence suggest a strong association between the two chronic conditions.

Identifying these conditions early and integrating treatment of depression and diabetes can tremendously improve health outcomes and quality of life.
