Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Eastern Region, Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Crucial factors associated with anxiety in our setting included being non-Saudi, having lower education levels, poor glycemic control, and the number of medications used. Depression, on the other hand, was found to be higher among unemployed patients, those with longer diabetes duration, poor glycemic control, and multiple medications. These findings emphasize the importance of healthcare providers in addressing both the medical and psychological needs of diabetic patients through tailored interventions to enhance their overall well-being.
