Recently I had a patient who struggles with both depression and diabetes. She asked me if she can do things to avoid both from worsening. Especially if she can do something to help her children avoid both depression and diabetes. If you are like my patient, then you would learn a lot in this interview.
In this episode of a happy and healthy mind, my guest Dr. Naaznin Lokhandwala discussed the link between Depression and Diabetes. She is an endocrinologist specializing in the treatment of Diabetes.
