Eating Disorders and Depression in Women with Diabetes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Contemporary Diabetes ((CDI))

Abstract

The close relationship between the physical and mental health of individuals with diabetes has been clearly demonstrated. This is most evident in eating disorders and depression, two common mental health problems in women with diabetes. The presence of either or both of these problems can interfere significantly with the ability to achieve optimal metabolic control and can lead to an increased risk of diabetes-related medical complications. There is a substantial female preponderance in the occurrence of eating disorders, due to gender-related factors. Depression is also more common in women, an association that has been linked to socioeconomic factors and adverse life events experienced more frequently by women. Effective treatments are available for both of these comorbid conditions, although evidence suggests that they are often overlooked in medical settings. Treatment of these mental health problems in individuals with diabetes has the potential to improve outcomes with regard to diabetes and other health states, as well as overall well-being.

This chapter provides an introduction to eating disorders and depression in association with diabetes, the potential mechanisms that account for this association and the detection and management of these comorbid conditions.
