Epidemiology and risk of psychiatric disorders in patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis: a nationwide population-based cohort study in Taiwan
Patients with PM/DM face a significantly higher risk of psychiatric disorders, mortality and suicide. Integrating mental healthcare into the routine management of PM/DM is crucial to improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality. Future research should focus on the impact of early psychiatric interventions on survival outcomes in this population.
