Abstract

Depression and stress are the most common psychological problems observed in diabetic patients and are associated with poor diabetes self-management and treatment compliance. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be an effective treatment option for depression and stress management in diabetes. CBT involves a structured program relating to cognitive modification or reframing and behavioral change. CBT helps diabetic patients build the skills needed to cope with stressful life circumstances, which may provide lasting relief from depression and stress. It also helps diabetic patients to build motivation and skills regarding self-management and glycemic control.
