Abstract

This article reviewed the literature on the adverse health outcomes of the coexistence of diabetes and depression, the challenges of treating coexisting diabetes and depression in a fragmented health care system, and the need for integrated care as a strategy to improve the quality of care for patients who have complex medical illnesses (eg, patients who have coexisting diabetes and depression).
