An elevated prevalence of depression, anxiety and eating disorders is found in people with diabetes types 1 and 2. An elevated prevalence of diabetes type 2 is also found in people with severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This article presents a comprehensive and updated scoping review of recent literature on the prevalence of mental disorders in people with diabetes types 1 and 2 and on the prevalence of diabetes types 1 and 2 in people with mental disorders. We discuss the relationship between somatic and mental health in patients with diabetes and summarise updated literature on relevant interventions. The article concludes with a review of points on how the psychologist can help patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes.
