Abstract
Diabetes is one of the important endocrine disease. In recent 10 years it has increased to 70 million people in the world. The diabetes patients are aware of that complications may occure in future. Depression is the most common one. This study is a descriptive-analytic which was done in 1999 in Kashan diabetes center. The aim of this research was to determine the incidence and severity of depression in the diabetic patients who were used to take antidiabetic tablets and insulin. For this purpose, the researchers selected 80 diabetic patients to have characteristics to enter the study.  (38 patients were treated by tablets and 42 patients by insulin). Method of sampling was conclude one data were gathered with Beck test and two part questionnaire including demographic and severity of depression in patients taking insulin. Severity of depression was higher than tablet users. On the other hand there was a significant relation between severity of depression and kind of treatment (insulin injection) (P<0.04). Regarding to the findings, however depression in these patients is high and the patients who are taking insulin are at risk of this mental complication and the health team members should take care of them.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on working memory in patients with major depression.

Materials and Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest and post-test and follow-up with control group. The research population comprised female outpatient referrals to private psychiatric centers and psychological counseling centers in Tehran in the first half of 2016, They had received a diagnosis of depression by a psychiatrist at least once. Of these, 30 females were selected as a sample group with convenience sampling method and based on the criteria of inclusion and exclusion and were divided randomly into two groups , experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) group. The experimental group received transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in 10 sessions, While this intervention was not provided to the control group. The data were collected by N-BACK. Analysis of variance with repeated measurments was used to test the research hypothesis.
