Data –Driven Analysis of Psychiatric Disorders in Type 2 Diabetic Patients and Associations with Demographic Factors

Abstract

 This research examines the incidence of stress, anxiety, and depression in individuals with type 2 diabetes as well as how  these conditions relate to demographic characteristics. A convenience sample technique was used to choose 364 individuals  from the diabetic clinic at Taleghani Hospital in Tehran, Iran. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was  used for psychological testing, and SPSS was used to analyze the data at a significance level of 0.05. The study population  had a mean age of 51 years and was composed of 60% females and 40% men. Significantly high rates of stress, anxiety,  and depression were observed (92.2%, 79.8%, and 83.7%, respectively). All three psychiatric problems and educational  attainment were significantly correlated, although stress and age did not correlate. Furthermore, there were no discernible  correlations found between age, marital status, or the length of diabetes and stress, anxiety, or depression. However, there  was a definite correlation found between anxiety and problems associated to diabetes. The results highlight how crucial it  is to screen patients with type 2 diabetes for mental health disorders in order to guarantee prompt treatment and  management of these psychosocial problems.
