Do we need a more individualised approach to the management of comorbid depression and diabetes?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2024
Summary
Diabetes and depression have a bidirectional relationship, but some antidepressants (such as the tricyclics) may have detrimental effects in diabetes that are exacerbated by behavioural changes associated with depression. This month's Cochrane Review evaluated the efficacy of psychological and pharmacological treatments of comorbid depression in diabetes and found that such interventions have a moderate and clinically significant effect on depression outcomes in people with diabetes. However, conclusions were limited by significant heterogeneity within examined populations and interventions, and significant risk of bias within trials. This commentary critically appraises the review and aims to contextualise its findings.
