Although pharmaceutical companies report side effects that may occur with use of their medications, little data on specific groups of patients that may be at risk of particular side effects is available (Katz et al, 1991). Patients with diabetes mellitus form an important group for psychiatrists since the occurrence of depression is relatively common with this group and guidance on its treatment is lacking.
