Depression and Coronary Heart Disease in Women With Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: The protective effects of female gender on the appearance and course of coronary heart disease (CHD) in nondiabetic subjects are diminished in the presence of diabetes. Depression predicts onset of and poor outcome from CHD in nondiabetic populations. We hypothesized that the doubled rates of depression in female diabetic patients could help explain the high prevalence of CHD in women with diabetes. METHOD: Seventy-six female type 1 an…
Screening for Depression in Diabetes Using the Beck Depression Inventory
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) as a screening tool for major depression in diabetes. METHOD: One hundred seventy-two diabetic outpatients (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [IDDM] = 59, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [NIDDM] = 113) being evaluated for a treatment trial were studied. BDI scores were calculated for the complete 21-item measure as well as for the…
Effects of Nortriptyline on Depression and Glycemic Control in Diabetes: Results of a Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial
OBJECTIVE: Depression is a prevalent and chronic condition in diabetes and is associated with poor glucose regulation and poor compliance with diabetes treatment. This investigation evaluated the effects of nortriptyline on depression and glycemic control to see whether depression in diabetes is treatable and whether restoring mental health contributes to improved medical outcome. METHOD: Sixty-eight diabetic patients with poor glycemic control, …
