As the prevalence of long-term conditions continues to rise it becomes increasingly important to identify ways to mitigate their effects, including the psychological impact. In rural Kenya identifying people with diabetes or mental health problems is challenging due to the stigma and negative experiences within community settings.Four broad themes were identified; (1) misconceptions and stigma: the use of language, (2) treatment and medications, (3) community beliefs and alternative treatment pathways, (4) the role of informal and formal care.Our study demonstrated the detrimental effect of the use of stigmatising language and misconceptions surrounding diabetes and depression at both the individual and community levels. Inequalities in health care access were observed and a lack of resources in rural communities was evident. Improvements in support for health care workers at the community level as well as acknowledging the importance of informal care could help improve the psychological and emotional impact of diabetes and depression
