A recent study from the University of Edinburgh found that living with autoimmune diseases nearly doubles the risk of developing mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Analyzing data from 1.5 million participants, researchers noted that 29% of individuals with autoimmune disorders reported having affective disorders, compared to just 18% in the general population. The study also identified a correlation between chronic inflammation caused by these diseases and increased mental health issues, emphasizing the need for broader studies to explore these connections further.
"Living with an autoimmune disease significantly elevates the risk of mental health issues, with chronic inflammation potentially linking these health concerns, according to recent research."
