Description
Samantha Castro Teixeira, Geraldo da Rocha Castelar-Pinheiro, and Jaqueline de Carvalho Rodrigues study anxiety in rheumatoid arthritis. Their 2026 study, set in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, asks how anxiety, body felt symptoms, and coping weave together. Ninety seven patients at a public clinic filled out scales for anxiety, physical symptoms with no clear cause, and ways of coping. Most were women, with an average age near sixty.
More than four in five showed severe anxiety symptoms. Most leaned on emotion based coping, such as seeking comfort or reframing, over problem solving steps. In a network map anxiety sat at the center, tied to most body symptoms. Gut complaints, pain, and nerve like symptoms each predicted anxiety most strongly. The authors urge clinics to treat mind and body as one problem here.
