AB  - BACKGROUND:  Depression can increase the risk of diabetes-related complications, 
      healthcare expenditures, and morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus 
      (T2DM). There have been increasing cases of diabetes in Saudi Arabia; however, 
      research correlating depression with diabetes is lacking. The aim of this study 
      was to find out how common depression is among T2DM patients at King Abdulaziz 
      University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, and assess any additional risk factors for 
      depression in these patients. METHODOLOGY:  A cross-sectional study using 
      computer-assisted telephone interviews was conducted among patients with T2DM 
      from June to August 2021. A total of 215 participants completed the survey. 
      Symptoms and signs of depression were assessed using the Patient Health 
      Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistical 
      analyses were used to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with 
      depression. RESULTS: Depression was shown to be prevalent in 54% of type 2 
      diabetes patients, with the most common associated risk factors being not 
      exercising (p=0.00) and having at least one diabetes-related complication 
      (p=0.001). There was no evidence of a significant relationship between depression 
      and gender or age, although females were, in general, more depressed than males. 
      CONCLUSION: Diabetic patients have a significantly high prevalence of depression; 
      therefore, it is vital to conduct regular screening for depression in patients 
      diagnosed with T2DM.
