Depressive and anxiety symptom prevalence in childhood-onset systemic lupus. Quilter, m. , hiraki, l. , & korczak, d. (2019). Depressive and anxiety symptom prevalence in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: a systematic review. Lupus, 28(7), 878: doi: 10. 1177/0961203319853621 (quilter, hiraki & korczak, 2019) 25% - 45% of children with sle have central nervous system involvement - one of the most common manifestations of this is a depressed mood. Very few studies have focused on the prevalence of symptoms of depression and anxiety in childhood-onset sle. Comorbidity rates for major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder has the potential to be increased in csle. One of the reasons could be that the diagnosis of a serious physical health conditions could result in psychological feelings of sadness, stress, helplessness, and worry. There is also a patient-treatment burden - including an increased susceptibility of developing a psychiatric disorder. Depressed mood could also occur in neuropsychiatric sle which could require significant treatment.
