Temporal trend in depressive symptoms with duration of diabetes.

Notes: Results from separate studies reporting trends in depressive symptoms (colored lines) suggest a J-shaped curve (dashed line). Initial and later peaks are observed, which are thought to result from different biopsychosocial factors (colored shaded bars). The high prevalence of MDD (18%–25%) contributes to the overall prevalence of depressive symptoms, but temporal trends with duration of diabetes have not been described explicitly.

Abbreviation: MDD, major depressive disorder.
