研究表明,尽管抑郁和焦虑的风险较高,但关节炎患者获得的心理健康支持不足。 Study reveals arthritis patients receive inadequate mental health support despite higher risk of depression and anxiety.

最近一项关于关节炎研究和治疗的一项研究表明,关节炎患者患抑郁和焦虑的风险较高,但得不到足够的心理健康支助。 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. 尽管风险增加,这些病人与没有关节炎的病人一样,有可能因情绪紊乱获得药物或治疗。 Despite their increased risk, these patients are as likely to receive medication or therapy for mood disorders as those without arthritis. 研究涉及近7,000名抑郁症患者和3,700名焦虑患者。 The research involved nearly 7,000 patients with depression and 3,700 with anxiety. 大约51%的炎性关节炎病人接受了抑郁症药物治疗,而其他病人为48%,约20%的人接受了焦虑治疗。 About 51% of inflammatory arthritis patients received depression medication, compared to 48% of others, and roughly 20% got anxiety therapy. 焦虑的关节炎病人更有可能因情绪失调而需要住院治疗。 Arthritis patients with anxiety were more likely to need hospitalization for mood disorders. 这突出表明了关节炎患者在精神保健方面的重大差距。 This highlights a significant gap in mental health care for arthritis sufferers.
