HealthDay (7/26, Reinberg) reports, “More than half of all patients with autoimmune diseases also suffer from depression and anxiety,” although “most are never asked about their mental health,” researchers concluded in a survey study involving “more than 1,800 patients.” The study revealed that “more than half rarely or never reported their mental health symptoms to their” physician, possibly meaning that “the range of mental health and neurological symptoms is much wider than has been reported.” The findings were published online July 26 in the journal Rheumatology.
