Introduction:

Diabetic patients associate depression with a higher frequency than the general population. It is currently considered that there is a bidirectional relationship between diabetes and depression.

Objetive:

The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of depressive symptoms and their relationship with sociodemographic factors, metabolic control, treatment, and chronic complications in a diabetes unit.

Results:

142 patients were included, the frequency of depression symptoms was 36.7%. An association with chronic complications and lower adherence to treatment was found.

Conclusions:

It is necessary to use screening methods to assess depression in the population of patients with diabetes.
