Psychiatric illness, Type2 Diabetes Mellitus, C-Reactive Protein, Fasting Blood Sugar.

Diabetes and Psychiatric disorders influence each other in multiple ways. This can inturn result in elevated C-reactive Protein, which acts as a biomarker of inflammation, thereby increasing the risk of Cardio-Vascular Diseases. C-Reactive Protein is a pentameric protein found in blood plasma whose level rise in response to inflammation, which is produced predominantly by the hepatocytes. Several research suggests a bi-directional relationship between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Psychiatric illness & the two disorders may share similar pathophysiological mechanisms. Fluoxetine and Escitalopram belongs to the Selective Serotonin Reuptake inhibitors class of Anti-depressants.The present review is aimed to compare the two anti-depressants, Fluoxetine and Escitalopram on their effect in reducing C-reactive Protein and Fasting Blood Sugar in patients with Psychiatric illness and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The better anti-depressant that can be added along with the oral hypoglycemic agent to improve the glycemic control and also which has the potential to reduce the risk of inflammation could be analyzed.
