What is the best treatment for depression if I have diabetes?

If you are depressed, do your part to help yourself, and don't hesitate to get help from a psychologist or other mental health professional. Ask your primary care physician, friends, and local diabetes support groups for referrals. Psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, and antidepressant medications are effective in treating depression.

The National Institute of Mental Health has free reading materials to help you understand depression and lists local mental health services in your area. The National Mental Health Information Center of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has an online services locator that can help you find local resources for emotional well-being. Treatment cost, availability, the severity of depressive symptoms, and treatment preferences are all considerations when determining the best treatment; your doctor can help you sort through your options.

Additionally, ask your doctor about supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids; recent research suggests that they may reduce the incidence of, as well as treat, depression in people with type 2 diabetes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
