Arthritis sufferers are twice as likely to feel suicidal
A study of almost 4,000 people found that 5.6% of people with arthritis had suicidal thoughts compared with just 2.4% of those not suffering from the chronic condition.
The authors from the National University of Athens in Greece and the US National Institute of Arthritis, said middle-aged people who have had arthritis for just a short period of time were at greatest risk of suicidal thoughts.
