Arthritis (from Greek arthro- joint + -itis, inflammation, plural: arthritides) is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation in one or more joints. There are over 100 different forms of arthritis. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age.

People often use the word depression when they’re talking about moments or periods of time where they feel sad or down. When life gets full on and deals you things like stress, disappointments or grief, it’s really common and normal to feel down about it. However, if you continue to feel lower than usual for a really long time, or if you’re not really sure why you’re feeling that way in the first place, there might be something more serious going on.

 

The official use of the word depression, which is often diagnosed as ‘major depressive disorder’, is used if these feelings persist for longer than two weeks and start to get in the way of your everyday life. Keep in mind that depression is a condition that can only be diagnosed by a health professional.

Depression ranges from mild to severe, and while there are many possible causes, it’s hard to know if it happens as the result of life events (such as traumatic events or losing someone close to you), biological factors (like an imbalance in certain chemicals in the brain), both, or something else entirely. Everyone who suffers from depression will experience it differently, but there are some common signs and symptoms.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.  Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications.  Acute complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis, nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, or death.  Serious long-term complications include heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney failure, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.

 

Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced.
