Autoimmune Disease and Depression

When you learn that your body's immune system has decided to attack its own joints, causing you to pain for the rest of your life, it can be difficult to stay positive. Many people report feeling alone after being diagnosed with a rheumatic disease, whether it's rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or another autoimmune disease.

These upsetting conditions frequently compel people to make lifestyle changes, which can have a significant impact on overall mental health. According to the study, people living with arthritis-related diseases experience depression and anxiety at rates 2 to 10 times higher than the general population, depending on the type of arthritis. According to research, 30 percent of people with RA develop depression within five years of diagnosis.
