Mumbai: The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson has announced the launch of icare4u, a comprehensive program to support the mental and physical health of millions of Indians affected by disorders caused by excessive inflammation.
The innovative program is being launched at a critical time, with many Indians overwhelmed by the ongoing pandemic and finding it even harder to cope with debilitating conditions that affect the skin, joints and gastrointestinal system.
Janssen India's Head of Medical Affairs, Dr. Jitendra Dixit said that conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthropathy and inflammatory bowel disease had a "huge toll" on the mental and physical health of those affected.
Research shows that people living with inflammatory disorders are at increased risk of depression and anxiety, with those most affected also experiencing worse disease activity.
