Core Tip	Depression is indeed common in individuals with osteoarthritis. Depression is not only correlated with sleep disorders, pain, and functional prognosis, but also with cognitive decline. Cognitive decline can be an obstacle to rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty, leading to a decline in quality of life due to functional decline. Therefore, it’s crucial for healthcare professionals to assess and address both the physical and mental health needs of people with osteoarthritis.
