Autoimmune Diseases

Baptist HealthTalk

Nearly 4 percent of the world’s population – or more than 320 million people -- is affected by one of more than 80 autoimmune diseases, with some of the most common ones being multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. In the vast majority of cases, autoimmune diseases are not fatal, and individuals can live full lives. But managing such a disease can be a frustrating battle if you don’t know what’s going on. More than half of autoimmune patients experience mental health issues such as depression or anxiety.
