The self-rating Bahasa Malaysia version of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-42) was used to determine the prevalence and severity of depressive, anxiety and stress symptoms. Results: The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among diabetic patients was 13.5%, 28%, 11% respectively. Most of the patients with emotional disturbances had moderate depression and anxiety symptoms. However, stress symptoms were mild.
