We confirmed a high prevalence of depressive symptoms in both PsA and axSpA. Factors negatively associated with the presence of depressive symptoms were fatigue, not engaging in sports, and greater functional limitations. Depressive symptoms may affect the perception of disease activity / severity by patients. Thus, depressive symptoms are an important condition in axSpA and PsA that should be considered when evaluating disease activity and treatment outcomes.
