Despite adequate treatment for diabetes, it is estimated that 15%- 20% of people with diabetes are struggling with a moderate to severe form of depression daily. Little is known about depression in diabetes in East Africa, particularly in Tanzania. The study is aimed at determining the prevalence of depression and associated factors among patients with diabetes. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the diabetes clinic of Muhimbili National Hospital. The 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ 9) scale was used to assess presence of depressive symptoms among diabetes patients at the clinic. In addition, patient’s sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were obtained and analysed for their association with depression. A total of 353 participants were recruited, of whom 229 (64.9%) patients were female and 156 (44.2%) were aged between 41 and 60 years. The overall prevalence of depression among diabetes patients at the diabetes clinic was 87%. Most (56.7%) had minimal depression, 22.1% had mild depression, and 8.2% had moderate depression. None had severe depression. Factors independently associated with a diagnosis of mild to moderate depression were being on insulin therapy and being a current smoker. There was a high prevalence of depression in this diabetic population. Majority of patients had minimal depression but about 30% had either mild or moderate depression. A holistic approach that focuses on the identification and management of depression among patients with diabetes is recommended.

Depression is becoming a major mental health problem globally. Thailand is known as the accepting society for transgender but the available study on transgender women dealing with depression is scarce. This study aims to describe the prevalence of depression among Thai transgender women in Bangkok and to explore the associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 108 Thai transgender women in Bangkok, Thailand from January 2019 to April 2019. Data were collected through self-administered. Depression was assessed by using The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D). Multivariate regression analysis was conducted to explore the associated factors of depression. The prevalence of depression among transgender women in this study was 54.6%. Factors associated with depression in the crude analysis were: sex reassignment surgery (OR=2.45, 95%CI=0.96-6.24), illness history (OR=1.79, 95%CI=0.72-4.50). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, depression was significantly associated with drinking alcohol >1 time/month in the past 12months (adjusted OR=0.33, 95%CI=0.12-0.91). Transgender tend to experience higher rates of mental health issues than the general population. This study suggested that alcohol drinking was only significantly associated with depression in Thai transgender women. For further study, we need to find other associations with depression in transgender community.
