Abstract
Arthritis is associated with psychiatric disorders. The temporal relationship points to one direction: arthritis predicts new onset of psychiatric disorder (mood disorder) instead of the reverse. Especially younger people (<45 years) with arthritis are at risk of developing a psychiatric disorder. Screening and simultaneous treatment of comorbid mood disorder and arthritis are recommended as part of routine in primary care.
