Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Depression and Diabetes is the first book devoted to the interaction between these common disorders. World leaders in diabetes, depression, and public health synthesize current evidence, including some previously unpublished data, in a concise, easy-to-read format. They provide an overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, medical costs, management, and public health and cultural implications of the comorbidity between depression and diabetes. The book describes how the negative consequences of depression in diabetes could be avoided, given that effective depression treatments for diabetic patients are available."--Provided by publisher.
