Cognitive behavioral treatment to improve psychological adjustment in people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes: Psychological treatment in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease that affects a person's general well-being. Current evidence sets an association between psychological well-being and controlled metabolic parameters. People newly diagnosed with T2DM show higher prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has effectively improved psychological adjustment, but most studies do not specifically address recently diagnosed people nor usually include long-term follow-up measures.

Objective

We sought to assess changes in psychological variables in people with newly diagnosed diabetes who received a cognitive-behavioral intervention, within a comprehensive care program.

Method

1208 adults with T2DM (≤5 years) who attended a national health institute in Mexico
