The interaction mechanism between mental disorders and diabetes is complex, involving genetics, endocrine metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress and other aspects, which makes it difficult to treat patients with mental disorders complicated by diabetes. Such patients mostly use drugs and non-drug interventions to relieve symptoms of mental disorders and improve blood sugar levels, but the mechanism of mental disorders and diabetes needs to be systematically summarized and needs practical means to intervene. This article starts with the pathogenesis of diabetes and then describes the interaction mechanism of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and diabetes in detail. Finally, the intervention measures for patients with mental disorders complicated by diabetes are summarized, which aims to provide a reference for medical staff engaged in related work.
