Pregnant women with diabetes have a greater likelihood of developing depression before and after they give birth than do pregnant women without diabetes, say the authors of a study appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The study was based on Medicaid data for more than 11,000 women delivering babies in New Jersey in a two-year period. The authors speculated that the hormonal disorders accompanying diabetes may play a role in depression, but they did not establish a causal relationship.
