TOPIC Prevalence and interventions for depression in youth with type 1 diabetes. PURPOSE To explore the co‐morbidity of youth with diabetes and psychiatric conditions, and evaluate the relationship of youth with co‐morbid depression and diabetes on glycemic control, quality of life, family support, behavioral problems, attributional style, and self‐esteem. SOURCES Relevant literature in both child and adolescent populations of psychiatry, psychology, and nursing. CONCLUSIONS Youth with type 1 diabetes have significantly higher rates of depression over the general population. Seratonin reuptake inhibitors, cognitive behavioral treatment, interpersonal therapy, improving family communication and problem‐solving skills, and diabetes education hold promise as treatment that can decrease depression in youth with diabetes. Advanced practice nurses are positioned to provide these interventions and treatments.
