Abstract
- Mental health literacy is important for early detection and treatment of mental disorders. Diabetic patients are at increased risk of developing mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, which can impact blood sugar control and quality of life. Despite this, mental health service use among diabetic patients remains low. This paper highlights the importance of a tailored approach to enhancing mental health literacy in this population, focusing on three key areas: recognizing early signs of mental illness, promoting help-seeking behavior, and preventing suicide.
