DEPRESSION, METABOLIC SYNDROME AND DIABETES MELLITUS
We usually focus our attention on adverse events of antipsychotic medication when thinking of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes in psychiatry. We want to show another important issue in the following article, which is the increased comorbidity of depression and type 2 diabetes. Depression usually precedes the development of type 2 diabetes and therefore it is necessary to monitor the metabolic risk factors in depressive patients.
Keywords: depression, metabolic syndrome, diabetes.
