Abstract

Diabetes with depression is common and can lead to poorer outcomes in both conditions. The existing literature has demonstrated that patients' single condition representations inform self-management, but less is known about the composition and impact of multimorbid representations. This study aimed to explore accounts of multimorbidity with a focus on the content of cognitive representations and reported management of diabetes and depression.
