International and global mental health
In the spotlight this month is the DiaDeM Programme.
Diabetes is a growing global problem, particularly in South Asia and people with long-term physical health conditions, such as diabetes, are more likely to experience depression. When people have depression and diabetes, outcomes for both are worse, resulting in poorer health, quality of life, earlier deaths, and increased costs for individuals, families and healthcare services.
The DiaDeM Programme aims to tackle these challenges by bringing together experts in the field to develop and test a culturally appropriate treatment for depression in people with diabetes in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
