Psychological status of 140 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was studied on the 12-th day after the moment of admission to the cardioreanimation department and in 6 months after discharge from hospital. Spielberger questionnaire was used for assessment of level of personal and reactive anxiety, Beck scale -- for estimation of level of depression, and Holmes - Ray scale -- for calculation of total number of stressful events. Average level of anxiety in acute period of ACS corresponded to high level of anxiety disorders (reactive anxiety score 47.64 +/- 10.49, personal anxiety score 48.7 +/- 8.77). Level of depressive disorders was in the limits of 3-49 points (median score 15.1 [5.1; 32.9]). Clinically evident depression corresponded to moderate and severe degree in 48.6% (68 of 140) patients. Mean total number of stressful events was 154 +/- 9.8 (median 129 [68.8; 317.8] points). After 6 months of follow up levels of personal and reactive anxiety remained high and were approximately equal to initial (45.63 +/- 11.3 and 40.79 +/- 11.6 points, respectively). Depressive disorders persisted in 57.4% of patients and level of depression corresponded to moderate and severe depressive disorders in 37.7% of cases. High prevalence of anxiety-depressive disorders was revealed in patients with type 2 DM complicated with development of ACS. Anxiety-depressive disorders persist minimally for 6 months after ACS.

Unlike responses to acute stressful events that are protective and adaptive in nature, chronic stress elicits neurochemical, neuroanatomical and cellular changes that may have deleterious consequences upon higher brain functioning. For example, while exposure to acute stress facilitates memory formation and consolidation, chronic stress or chronic exposure to stress levels of glucocorticoids impairs cognitive performance. Chronic stress or glucocorticoid exposure, as well as impairments in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function are proposed to participate in the etiology and progression of neurological disorders such as depressive illness, anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). HPA axis dysfunction, impaired stress responses and elevated basal levels of glucocorticoids are also hallmark features of experimental models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as diabetic subjects in poor glycemic control. Such results suggest that stress and glucocorticoids contribute to the neurological complications observed in diabetes patients. Interestingly, many of the hyperglycemia mediated changes in the brain are similar to those observed in depressive illness patients and in experimental models of chronic stress. Such results suggest that common mechanisms may be involved in the development of the neurological complications associated with Anxiety, Depressive illness and Diabetes: the As and Ds of stress. The aim of the current review will be to discuss the mechanisms through which limbic structures such as the hippocampus and amygdala respond and adapt to the deleterious consequences of chronic stress and hyperglycemia.

Anxiety and depressive behavioural disorders often occur concomitantly and their incidence in the general population as well as in chronically ill is higher than anticipated. Pilsen study of male and female patients (N = 1,050) selected from a population-based sample of the primary prevention survey PILS III (Pilsen Longitudinal Study III) had proven an existence of associations between depressive behavioural disorder and metabolic syndrome (MS). Depressive disorders were nearly twice as frequent in patients with MS compared to individuals without MS (RR = 1.85; CI: 1.11-3.10). Patients with psychiatric disorders were excreting more cortisol in the urine than individuals without psychiatric disorders, while there was no difference in the excretion ofcatecholamines and serotonin. Our results provide an indirect evidence for the hypothesis suggesting that increased activation of the sympathoadrenal axis could be pathophysiologically involved in the concomitant occurrence of the typical MS risk factors and depressed mood. Anxiety and depressive disorders are linked to higher cardiometabolic risk, higher incidence of acute cardiovascular events as well as poorer prognosis for cardiac patients; they are comorbid to a range of other chronic internal diseases. The association between cardiovascular disease, diabetes and psychiatric disorders is bilateral, i.e. patients with anxiety and depression experience cardiovascular events more frequently, and the patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic diseases suffer more frequently from anxious-depressive disorder. In clinical practice, we should search for anxious-depressive disorders. At present, the patients with anxiety or depression should be considered in the primary disease prevention as patients at high risk of atherosclerotic vascular diseases as well as MS and type 2 diabetes. Treatment of these diseases as part of secondary prevention in patients with anxiety and depression must be more rigorous and intensive than in patients without these psychiatric disorders.

Depressive disorders represent a frequent comorbidity of both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Inflammation-related processes have been implicated in the development of both diabetes and depression. This study aimed to investigate whether biomarkers of subclinical inflammation were associated with depressive symptoms in individuals with recently diagnosed diabetes and if such associations differed by diabetes type. This cross-sectional study was based on 295 individuals with T2D (67% men, mean age 53years) and 139 individuals with T1D (60% men, mean age 36years) of the German Diabetes Study. The main inclusion criterion was a known disease duration of <1year. Depressive symptoms were assessed with the Allgemeine Depressionsskala, Langversion (ADS-L) questionnaire, the German version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D) questionnaire. Associations between biomarkers of subclinical inflammation and the ADS-L as continuous score were assessed using multiple linear regression models adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, HbA1c, lipids, hypertension, medication and comorbidities. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and the ratio of high-molecular-weight (HMW)/total adiponectin were positively associated with ADS-L in T2D (both P<0.01), but not in T1D. In contrast, serum levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)-1 were positively associated with ADS-L only in T1D (P=0.035). The latter association was significantly different between both diabetes types (Pinteraction=0.036). No associations were observed for interleukin (IL)-6, IL-18 and soluble E-selectin. Only the association between HMW/total adiponectin and ADS-L in T2D remained significant after correction for multiple testing. In conclusion, our study shows that the ratio HMW/total adiponectin is associated with depressive symptoms in individuals with recently diagnosed T2D. It also provides suggestive evidence that further biomarkers of subclinical inflammation and endothelial activation may be associated with depressive symptoms in individuals with recently diagnosed T1D and T2D.
