Reply to comment by Mando92MG in Insulin modulates emotional behavior through a serotonin-dependent mechanism - impaired insulin-sensitivity in these DR 5-HT neurons is critical for the development of T2D-associated mood disorders. by Meatrition
I believe that the mental aspect of T1D is sorely underestimated and overlooked. There are courses for how to estimate carbs, how to administer insulin etc. to cover the physiological portion. But no one teaches you how to build the mental fortitude necessary do deal with the psychological part. It is no wonder that with a disease that requires daily micromanagement the potential for developing anxiety and depression is much higher.
