Core Tip This study analyzed patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) to evaluate the correlations between psychological distress and social support and identify influencing factors. Nearly half of the cohort experienced anxiety or depression. In non-proliferative DR, anxiety and depression showed a significant negative correlation with social support, whereas findings in proliferative DR require validation in larger samples. Patients with a long diabetes mellitus duration, visual impairment, hypertension, a family history of diabetes mellitus, and low social support level were at heightened risk for psychological distress.
