Mental Health issues come in many forms. For people living with diabetes depression can be common, or anxiety increased, when compared to the general population.
It’s normal to feel anxious or worried at times. But if you feel anxious or worry without reason and your worries disrupt your daily life, you may have an anxiety disorder.
Depression can go undiagnosed and untreated, and it often takes a mental health professional to recognize depression symptoms and suggest appropriate treatments.
It is important to remember that mental health issues are disorders than can be treated just like any other illness a person might have, including diabetes.
If you think you may have a mental health issue or know someone who is, don’t lose hope. Please seek help.
