Great news for the degenerative joint disease sufferers. It is an unexpected and hopeful finding. If you are depressed, go for a treatment and get cured of your arthritis, the author of the study said.



While four out of five suffer degenerative joint disease after age 70, one in six older Americans is effected by depression. The study in the newest issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association reveals this.

“This was a very interesting, somewhat unexpected benefit of depression treatment. This was not something that we knew we would find,” said Dr. Elizabeth Lin, the study’s lead author.
