 by Rusty Ford

A new study shows that rheumatoid arthritis and depression may be deadly. Study notes 530 participants average age 60 average years diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 19 years Depression is common in people suffering with rheumatoid arthritis as with any chronic condition. The study lasted 7 years. During that time time 69 people died and twice as many people who died were suffering depression. The study also found that men with depression were 5 times more likely to die than women. The sad thing is that depression is a treatable condition. Depression only makes a any chronic condition worse. If you suffer from any form of arthritis or other chronic disease talk to your doctor about depression. Not only may you save you live but you will surely make it a happier one. Rusty Editor http://arthritis-symptom.com/
