In the past decade, an increasing body of scientific evidence has shown links between diabetes and depressive disorders.
The Dialogue on Diabetes and Depression is a global programme created to study and assess the pathogenesis, clinical problems and public health consequences of co-morbidity of depressive disorders and diabetes.
The programme is taking stock of available knowledge - both scientific evidence and clinical experience in many countries of the world. Members of the program are working to define areas of intervention as well as priorities for research concerning the co-morbidity of depression and diabetes. |

They will also define areas in which the organizations that participate in the programme can work togother in the future.
Chaired by Professor Norman Sartorious, MD, PhD - a psychiatrist previously responsible for the programme of mental health at the World Health Organization and past President of the World Psychiatric Association - the Dialogue on Diabetes and Depression is being jointly developed by the organizations listed under
Participating Organizations.
In the coming weeks and months, we will post additional information on the programme itself as well as our initial findings. |
