Investigations showed that fatigue, less irritability, hostility, depression and anxiety are more common in diabetic's patients. Prevalence of depression is three times more in type 2 diabetes versus type 1. Purpose of the study is to evaluate the factors associated with depression in type 2 diabetics’ patients and whether these factors are different with those in non diabetics’ depressive patients. Materials and Methods: A sample of 227 Diabetics adults and 151 non diabetics were assessed on a random sampling, using Beck's depression scale and self reporting for data gathering.

Demographic data and factors affecting depression (age, sex, duration of diabetes, family size, and ethnicity) will be gathered from a questionnaire. The subjects will be completed questionnaires after their visit in diabetes centre. Non diabetics' peoples were recruited randomly from the clients of the center and completed questionnaires too.Data analysis was completed in stages. Descriptive statistics provided information on all variables. The development of models to explore the interrelationships of the Variables employed forward Fisher statistical test, Kai square and Manwitney test. All analyses were established a priori at P < 0.05 for acceptance. Results: Depression was more common on diabetics (77% vs. 37%).
