As many as one in five children with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes
may also have a neuropsychiatric disorder, according to a new study.
The illnesses include depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity
disorder, autism, developmental delay, schizophrenia, and bipolar
disorder. The research suggests that children with a neuropsychiatric
disease may be at risk for type 2 diabetes, and vice versa.

"Our findings may be important in screening practices for children
with either of these conditions," said the study's leader, pediatric
endocrinologist Lorraine E. Levitt Katz, M.D., of The Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia. "Obese children with neuropsychiatric
conditions should be screened for diabetes, and children with insulin
resistance or type 2 diabetes should be screened for psychiatric
conditions."
