AB  - AIMS: The aims of this study was to determine the prevalence and to compare 
      depression and anxiety screening scores by type of diabetes: type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM), type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and pre-diabetes. The secondary 
      aim was to examine sex differences in screening scores by type of diabetes. 
      METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Doha, Qatar using primary 
      data collection (N = 150), and stratified random sampling at a diabetes primary 
      healthcare center. The study tool collected demographic information and used 
      validated mental health screening tools for depressive symptoms "Patient Health 
      Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)", and for anxiety symptoms "Generalized Anxiety Disorder 
      7 (GAD-7)". RESULTS: The prevalence of moderate to severe depressive and anxiety 
      scores was highest in the prediabetes group (20 % and 14 % respectively). There 
      were increased PHQ-9 scores in the pre-diabetes group compared to T2DM (p-value 
      <0.05). No statistically significant differences in depressive symptom scores 
      were found when comparing the pre-diabetes group with T1DM, and T1DM with T2DM. 
      When looking at sex differences, there were no statistically significant 
      differences between T1DM and pre-diabetes males and females, however PHQ-9 and 
      GAD-7 scores in T2DM females were poorer compared to T2DM males. CONCLUSION: The 
      results of our study found patients living with pre-diabetes, and females with 
      T2DM are vulnerable populations who should be screened for mental health 
      disorders. Early screening for mental health disorders for individuals diagnosed 
      with prediabetes, T1DM, and T2DM should be routinely conducted to potentially 
      improve health outcomes.
