From the financial burden to discrimination, to feeling isolated and experiencing diabetes burnout, the mental health impact of diabetes is a serious concern. Here’s how you can help.
Did you know people with diabetes are two to three times more likely to have depression than those without diabetes? This Mental Health Awareness Month, the American Diabetes Association® is actively working to address some of the day-to-day mental challenges of people living with diabetes by:
Supporting national, local, and grassroots advocacy efforts
Addressing health care disparities to ensure equitable access for all
Fighting for insulin affordability and other financial burdens
Helping combat discrimination
Providing resources to aid with diabetes management, care, and prevention
Funding critical research to find a cure
Your contribution will not only make a profound difference, it will contribute to the broader goal of creating a world where no one has to face these challenges alone. Will you give today?
