If you are a diabetic, you are more likely to suffer from psychiatric disorders, doctors at New Delhi's Lady Hardinge Medical College have observed.

Similarly, depression has been found to play a causal role in the emergence of diabetes.

"A recent meta-analysis established that depressed individuals have a 60 per cent increased risk of developing diabetes. A specific association has been found between risk of developing diabetes and non-severe depression, persistent depression, and untreated depression," Yatan Pal Singh Balhara of psychiatry department, said.
