Taking moderate to high daily doses of antidepressants for more than 2 years is associated with an 84% increased risk for diabetes, according to a large observational study.
The increased risk was particularly notable for (SSRI) paroxetine and the tricyclic antidepressant amitriptyline.
Weight gain might explain much of the relation between antidepressant use and diabetes

The study found a 4-fold increased risk for diabetes associated with the long-term use of paroxetine in daily doses above 20 mg/day, but not of fluoxetine, citalopram, or sertraline
Depression itself might be some how connected to diabetes and pointed out that there is evidence that patients who treat their depression in ways other than with antidepressants ( for example, with cognitive behavior therapy) are also at high risk of developing diabetes.

What is Mental Health?What is Mental Health?
Mental health is more than the mere lack of mental disorders.
Mental health is a state of well-being whereby individuals recognize their abilities, are able to cope with normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and make a contribution to their communities

Quality of Life Versus Longevity of LifeQuality of Life Versus Longevity of Life
Quality of life describes an individual’s satisfaction with his or her general sense of wellbeing. It is often measured as physical , psychological and social wellbeing.
Longevity of life at the expense of quality of life is an empty prize.
![Page 34: Depression , Diabetes and Quality of life](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812e95550346895d9438f8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
1. Psychological factors may affect health-related behaviours such as smoking, diet, alcohol consumption, or physical activity, which in turn may influence the risk of CHD and diabetes.
2. Psychosocial factors may cause direct acute or chronic pathophysiological changes, possibly by their effect on neuroendocrine or immune systems.
3. Access to and content of medical care may be influenced by social factors.

Evidence that high levels of social support are protective against CHD and diabetes, while social isolation is related to increased mortality risk.
It has been proposed that social supports may act to buffer the effect of various environmental stereos and hence increase susceptibility to disease.

Social interaction leads to neurogenesis and proliferation of dendrites in cells of the hippocampus and increased dopamine in the dopaminergic reward pathways.
Lack of social interaction leads to atrophy in cells of the hippocampus, decreased dopamine together with hopelessness and helplessness.

• Well-being is not enhanced by wealth, power, or fame, despite many people acting as if such accomplishments could bring lasting satisfaction.
• Character development does bring about greater self-awareness and hence greater happiness.
• The most effective methods of intervention all focus on the development of positive emotions and the character traits that underlie well-being.

“Social Capital" is defined as the ties that bind families, neighborhoods , workplaces, communities, and religious groups together and find that it correlates strongly with subjective wellbeing.
In fact the breadth and depth of individuals' social connections are the best predictors of their happiness.

Money can buy you happiness, but not much. and above a modest threshold, more money does not mean more happiness.
Individuals usually get richer during their lifetimes—but not happier.
![Page 43: Depression , Diabetes and Quality of life](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56812e95550346895d9438f8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
As for individuals, so for countries. Ghana, Mexico, Sweden, the United Kingdom , and the United States all share similar life satisfaction scores despite per capita income varying 10-fold between the richest and poorest country.
If money does not buy happiness, what does?
In all 44 countries surveyed in 2002 by the Pew Research center, family life provided the greatest sources of satisfaction.

Married people live on average three years longer and enjoy greater physical and psychological health than the unmarried.
Having a family enhances wellbeing, and spending more time with one's family helps even more.
In fact the breadth and depth of individuals' social connections are the best predictors of their happiness.

Work is central to wellbeing, and certain features correlate highly with happiness. These include autonomy over how, where, and at what pace work is done.
Trust between employer and employee.
Procedural fairness.

The more that governments recognize individual references, the happier their citizens will be.
Free choice, and citizens' belief that they can affect the political process, increase subjective wellbeing.
An association between unhappiness and poor health:
Be happy with what you have got, “look outwards—not to compare yourself unfavorably with others, but to develop your relationship! with them.
It is a surer route to happiness than the pursuit of wealth.

• Embark on a loving relationship with another adult, and work hard to sustain it.
• Plan frequent interactions with friends, family, and neighbours (in that order).
• Make sure you are not working so hard that you have no time left for personal relationships, and leisure.
Get Happy … It Is Good For You Get Happy … It Is Good For You

• In your spare time, join a club, volunteer for community service or take up religion.
• Happiness should become the goal of public policy and the progress of national happiness should be measured and analyzed as closely as the growth of gross national product.
• This means that public policy should be judged by how it increases human happiness and reduces human misery.
