Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the common chronic diseases in societies that has been associated with many psychological disorders. In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of psychological disorders in middle-aged women with and without diabetes mellitus in Isfahan City, Iran, during the years 2015-2016. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 246 women with diabetes mellitus and 246 healthy women were randomly selected from patients referring to comprehensive urban and rural health centers. Psychological evaluation, mental illness, epilepsy, and suicidal thoughts were assessed based on Iranian Woman Health Form. Findings: The frequency of psychological disorders such as anxiety, restlessness, frustration, sadness, and being motiveless for doing daily tasks, as well as overall frequency of psychological disorders, and the frequency of suicidal ideation, epilepsy, and history of mental illnesses was significantly higher in those with diabetes mellitus compared with healthy subjects (P < 0.001). Based on the multiple logistic regression model, patients with psychiatric disorders were 5.32 times more likely to develop diabetes than healthy controls [odds ratio (OR) = 5.32; 95% confidence interval (Cl) = 3.30-8.62). Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between psychiatric disorders and diabetes mellitus; so people with psychological illnesses should be screened for diabetes. © 2017 Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS).
