Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/26/2014 -- There are many known undesirable consequences of having arthritis such as disability, financial loss, or pain. However, it seems that the condition can potentially have detrimental effects on the mental health of a sufferer.
According to studies, arthritis is strongly associated with the development of depression. In a study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it was found that out of 1,793 adults who had doctor-diagnosed arthritis 31% of them experienced anxiety and 18% had depression. It was also found that 84% of patients who suffered from depression also had anxiety.
There can be several factors that contribute to the development of depression among arthritis sufferers. Being unable to work due to the physical limitations caused by the condition can have devastating effects on a person’s confidence and self-worth.
“There are arthritis sufferers who are unable to function and live their lives as they normally do due to the condition. Being unable to do their daily tasks, play with their children, go outdoors and spend quality time with family, and earn money are some of the undesirable circumstances that reduces the quality of life of patients. Unfortunately, these consequences can encourage the development of depression,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.
Depression can be a fatal disease and if not properly addressed can result in devastating consequences. Experts believe that reducing the risk for arthritis can be very helpful to also decrease the risk of developing a psychological disorder.
What is even more alarming is that studies found many of the arthritis patients who suffered from depression did not seek mental health care, despite the presence of noticeable symptoms. However, health experts believe depression is not necessarily a side effect of arthritis and it can be prevented.
Arthritis sufferers use a variety of treatment options to achieve pain relief and possibly regain their joint health. Many of them use prescription drugs such as NSAIDs, while others resort to natural treatment alternatives such as glucosamine supplements.
According to consumers, they find glucosamine supplements more helpful in their battle against arthritis. They claim that the natural alternative is not only less expensive than other treatment options, but also very helpful in improving their mobility. It allows them to live their life the way they normally do, with less physical pain and suffering (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
