Abstract
Evidence indicates rates of depressive disorders are higher among adults with diabetes than in the general population. The instrument most frequently utilized in primary care to screen for major depression is The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Its use can have a dramatic impact on the initial diagnosis and ongoing treatment of patients with diabetes and depression.Entities:
