Diabetes is a complex condition that not only affects physical health but also has a significant impact on mental well-being. Stress, anxiety, depression, and cognitive challenges often accompany diabetes, making it essential to address both medical and psychological aspects of the disease.

- Anxiety Disorders – Fear of complications, insulin dependency, and lifestyle modifications can cause anxiety.

- Sleep Disorders – Sleep disturbances, including insomnia and sleep apnea, are common in diabetes patients.
