Abstract
The recently published article by Gao et al identifies risk factors for anxiety and depression in patients with diabetic retinopathy. We supplement that there is pathophysiological evidence to show a complex and possibly bidirectional relation between diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, and mood disorders, especially depression. Longitudinal studies may strengthen proof of a causal relationship between these diseases. A better understanding can help in the holistic management of these patients.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Psychiatry (WJP) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJP is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of psychiatry. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJP is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJP are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in psychiatry.
