The association between depression and chronic communicable diseases has been well established but is known to be complex. Depression in infectious diseases may occur for a number of reasons- due to the stress of living with chronic infection, the side effects of treatments, or the effects of these diseases on the immune system or central nervous system. Conversely, depression can make people more vulnerable to infectious diseases such as TB and hepatitis.

The research study was part of the IMPACT Programme of research which aimed to address the challenges of mental and physical multimorbidity.
