Six-month and lifetime prevalences of psychiatric disorders in inpatients with diabetes mellitus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 April 2020
Summary
The Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) was used to assess the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in a French population of 46 inpatients with diabetes mellitus. According to DSM-III-R criteria, 52.2% of subjects presented at least one psychiatric diagnosis in their lifetime and 41.3% did so less than six months before the study. Affective and anxiety disorders represented at least 83% of the psychiatric diagnoses. The risk for those disorders seems to be restricted to a predisposed group as only one of the 16 subjects who had suffered from an anxiety or depressive episode within the previous six months had never experienced such an episode before.
