Psychological factors play a crucial role in diabetes management, influencing self-care behaviors, adherence to treatment, and overall quality of life. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, diabetes distress, and burnout can hinder glycemic control and increase the risk of complications. Integrating mental health support into diabetes care involves counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, stress management techniques, and patient education. Encouraging coping strategies, goal setting, and social support helps patients manage the emotional burden of living with a chronic condition. By addressing psychological aspects, healthcare providers can enhance adherence, empower patients to engage in effective self-management, and improve both metabolic and psychosocial outcomes.
