Abstract

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic, progressive, heterogeneous disease that includes peripheral arthritis and spondyloarthritis, associated with cutaneous psoriasis and affecting various body systems. In addition to its impact on physical health, psoriatic arthritis is interconnected with mental disorders. Inflammatory processes, chronic pain, and other comorbid somatic conditions significantly contribute to the development of mental disorders, primarily depressive and anxiety disorders. Mental disorders often precede and accompany psoriatic arthritis, negatively influencing the severity, disease progression, and treatment efficacy, promoting the development of therapeutic resistance.
