But these rheumatologic disorders have prominent neuropsychiatric symptoms and many other confounding and complicating factors. Pain, systemic inflammation, disability, fatigue, sleep disruption, and treatment effects—all of these accompany rheumatologic conditions, and are associated with depression in and of themselves.
