flag Study reveals arthritis patients receive inadequate mental health support despite higher risk of depression and anxiety.

flag A recent study in Arthritis Research & Therapy shows that arthritis patients, who have a higher risk of depression and anxiety, do not receive adequate mental health support. flag Despite their increased risk, these patients are as likely to receive medication or therapy for mood disorders as those without arthritis. flag The research involved nearly 7,000 patients with depression and 3,700 with anxiety. flag About 51% of inflammatory arthritis patients received depression medication, compared to 48% of others, and roughly 20% got anxiety therapy. flag Arthritis patients with anxiety were more likely to need hospitalization for mood disorders. flag This highlights a significant gap in mental health care for arthritis sufferers.
