Major depression
Major depression is characterized by depressed mood and loss of interest or pleasure that lasts at least two weeks. About 15% of people experience major depression in their lifetime. Females experience depression twice as often as males. Depression has genetic, biological, psychological, and social causes. Treatment involves psychotherapy, antidepressant medication, electroconvulsive therapy, or light therapy. Nursing care focuses on safety, support, and education to prevent suicide and promote recovery.
PTSD and autoimmune diseases
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after exposure to a terrifying event in which serious physical harm occurred or was threatened. PTSD can occur in people of any age and women are affected more than men. Some events that can trigger this disorder comprise: accidents, natural or human-caused disasters, violent personal assaults or military combat.
Troops who serve in wars and conflicts, rescue workers involved in the aftermath of disasters; survivors of accidents, rape, physical and sexual abuse, bombing or other crimes are exposed to highly stressful events and have increased risk for developing PTSD.
Autoimmune rheumatic diseases are due to a compromised immune response against the self. Physicians have commonly observed that stress adversely affects patient’s disease and many studies have demonstrated that a high percentage of patients have reported unusual emotional stress before disease onset. Stress is now days an important risk factor for the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease.
Research among veterans showed that those diagnosed with PTSD had higher risk for diagnosis with an autoimmune disorder like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus autoimmune thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis, alone or in combination, compared to veterans with no psychiatric disorder.
A large longitudinal study of civilian women, demonstrated that exposure to trauma and PTSD were associated with increased risk of SLE occurrence. A group of patients with fibromyalgia and PTSD reported significantly greater levels of avoidance, hyperarousal, anxiety, and depression than did the patients without PTSD symptoms.
Conclusion. Rheumatic diseases are common chronic disorders. Several risk factors contribute to their pathophysiology like genetic factors, sex hormones, infections and stress. Research has showed that psychological stress and stress-related hormones are involved in immune modulation, which may result in autoimmune disease. Further studies are needed to clarify the pathophysiological implications of stress and trauma on the onset and activity of rheumatic autoimmune diseases and to determine whether treatment of PTSD and lifestyle changes can decrease the risk for developing autoimmune disorders in patients with this severe psychological disorder.
