Mediocre diabetic women, who are whether expecting or delivered a baby, have the doubled risk of developing depression compared to the women without diabetes, a new study found.
No matter either the women have developed diabetes during or before the pregnancy or depending on insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs. The high risk of depression still exists in the diabetic women.
“Diabetic have the double risk of depression during and after the pregnancy,” the study’s lead author, Katy Backes Kozhimannil said.
Even those women who had been never complaint for depression also appear at risk. Ten percent of the women, with no prior indications of the depression develop it right after delivery.
