Published: April 2012

Background: Psychiatric disorders appear to be frequent in patients with diabetes mellitus. The presence of psychiatric co-morbidity may affect adherence to medication and self-care regimes.

Aim: To establish rules of the management of diabetes among people with psychiatric disorders.

Methods: Literature review on the PUBMED database using the following keywords: diabetes, psychiatric disorders, anti-psychotics, complications.

Results: Psychiatric disorders appear to be frequent in patients with diabetes mellitus. Their presence is associated with poor glycemic control and more diabetes complications. This negative effect may be increased by taking atypical antipsychotics which expose to several metabolic effects such as overweight, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, Type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.

Conclusion: The management of diabetes among people with psychiatric disorders should be multidisciplinary including internist, diabetologist, psychiatrist, and paramedical staff. This treatment includes medical (anti-diabetics, anti-psychotics) and psychotherapeutic interventions through which we can have better glycemic control and decreased rates of diabetes complications.

There are few established treatments for negative symptoms in schizophrenia, which persist in many patients after positive symptoms are reduced. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and epigenetic modifications involving histone deacetylase (HDAC) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
