Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnant women are under more psychological stress than normal pregnant women. With the deepening of the study of gestational diabetes mellitus, research has shown that anxiety and depression are also an important cause of gestational diabetes mellitus. Anxiety and depression can cause imbalances in the hormone levels in the body, which has a serious impact on the pregnancy outcome and blood glucose control of pregnant women with GDM. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic review of the association between anxiety, depression, and GDM, as well as the adverse effects on pregnant women with GDM. To this end, we searched the PubMed, CNKI, Embase, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and Weipu databases. Studies on the incidence of anxiety, depression, and GDM, blood glucose in pregnant women with GDM, delivery mode, and maternal and infant outcomes were included to be analyzed, and the source of anxiety and depression in pregnant women with GDM and related treatment measures were discussed.
Highlights
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as carbohydrate intolerance resulting in hyperglycemia with first onset or detection during pregnancy [1], accounting for 86% of hyperglycemia during pregnancy [2]
We further studied the effects of anxiety and depression on blood glucose and maternal and infant outcomes in pregnant women with GDM and Journal of Diabetes Research discussed the sources of anxiety and depression and related treatment measures
Blood glucose delivery hemoglobin were increased in GDM pregnant women
Summary
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as carbohydrate intolerance resulting in hyperglycemia with first onset or detection during pregnancy [1], accounting for 86% of hyperglycemia during pregnancy [2]. The mental health problems of pregnant women, especially the mental state of GDM, a high-risk group, have attracted a great attention from scholars all over the world. Studies in this population show that apart from physiological factors, anxiety and depression are important causes of gestational diabetes [7]. The diagnosis of GDM may increase the risk of antenatal or postnatal depression through a reverse mechanism [9] This suggests that there may be a two-way relationship between gestational diabetes and anxiety and depression. We further studied the effects of anxiety and depression on blood glucose and maternal and infant outcomes in pregnant women with GDM and Journal of Diabetes Research discussed the sources of anxiety and depression and related treatment measures
