Abstract
A study of Dutch subjects [Cohen D et al. Diabetes Care 2006] found previously undiagnosed diabetes in 14.5% of subjects with severe mental illness versus 1.5% in the general population. This and other studies have also found a high frequency of impaired glucose tolerance among the severely mentally ill. This article discusses the role of antipsychotic drugs, the management of metabolic issues in psychiatric patients, and diabetes and depression.
