Generalised anxiety disorder and its determinants amongst patients with diabetes in primary healthcare clinics: a cross-sectional study in Kuwait City, 2024
While nearly half of patients with diabetes displayed anxiety symptoms, only a small proportion (4%) experienced moderate-to-severe anxiety. Non-native Kuwaiti residents were significantly more likely to have GAD scores > 10. Integrating anxiety screening into diabetes care may improve outcomes for this high-risk group.
