There were significant difference between duration of disease and DAS-28 score between the two groups (P=0.001 and P=0.001, respectively). Somatic symptoms were more frequent in patients with psychological problems (P=0.001). Somatic symptoms in patient with high disease activity was also more frequent than the other group (P=0.002). There was a significant positive correlation between the scores of DAS-28 and GHQ-28 (r=0.329, P=0.001).Conclusions: This study showed that a considerable portion of patients with RA may have mental problems.
