Prevalence and treatment rate of gout by depressive symptom severity: A cross-sectional analysis of NHANES 2007-2018.

Compared with patients without depression, the patients with depression had a higher risk of gout. With the aggravation of depression, the prevalence of gout and the rate of treatment both were decreased. Patients with gout and depression need to receive multidisciplinary care after diagnosis. However, currently, treatment cannot meet the needs of the current patients.
