Sir, my mom is having diabetes type 2 she is in great depression because of that can you help me to solve her problem.

Question

Dear lybrate-user,
nice to see such an young boy trying to get help for mom.
Diabetes and depression can co occur. Both need treatment.
Most of the time your diabetes doctor can manage the depression also by counselling and if necessary with antidepressant tablets.
Only when your mom is suicidal or not responding to usual dose and treatment, he/she will refer to psychiatrist.
Please request her to discuss with the doctor freely about her depression. Alternately you can go in during her consultation and tell the doctor about her depression.
