Diabetes and Depression

Diabetes and depression often occur together, but it's always been a chicken-or-egg scenario. Does diabetes make people depressed or are depressed people more likely to develop diabetes? Now a large new study suggests it's both.
People with diabetes have a higher risk for developing depression than those without the chronic condition and those who are depressed are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, according to a report in the November 22 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
