Navigating the dual burden of type 1 diabetes and mental illness: A phenomenological study
Overview
This phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of 21 adults with type 1 diabetes and a history of mental illness through five online focus groups. The research identifies two primary themes: the internal psychological burden of disease management and medical trauma, and the external social stigma or 'othering' encountered in interpersonal and institutional settings. The resource is intended for readers interested in qualitative insights into the intersection of these conditions, with authors suggesting potential clinical integration strategies.
