Emotional Health Recognized as Vital Component of JDM Care

Caring for a child with juvenile myositis (JM) goes beyond managing flares and medications—it means supporting their whole well-being, including mental and emotional health. Research shows that children with chronic illnesses like JM are at a significantly higher risk for anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. These challenges can affect not just day-to-day life, but also treatment outcomes and long-term health
