Abstract

[...]to the multiple diagnoses on PHQ, the clinicians preferred to make a single diagnosis of mental disorder. [...]the clinicians (physicians) may use PHQ for screening, however, for confirmatory diagnosis they should rely on clinical interview. [...]careful assessment by the clinician and psychiatrist must be undertaken to reach to a psychiatric diagnosis in patients with diabetes mellitus. [...]PHQ can be used by busy physicians to screen patients of diabetes mellitus for common mental disorders.
