How Depression and Anxiety Influence Psoriatic Arthritis Remission

Mental health matters in managing psoriatic arthritis (PsA). A recent study reveals that depressive symptoms significantly lower remission rates and worsen disease activity, including pain, joint tenderness, and inflammation markers.
Key Insights:
• Patients with depression are 76% less likely to achieve remission.
• Anxiety impacts pain but has a less pronounced effect on remission rates.
• Managing depression improves PsA outcomes and reduces unnecessary treatment escalations.
This research underscores the need for holistic care that addresses both physical and mental health.
