The relationship between mental health and physical well-being has long been recognized, prompting increased research into this intricate relationship. Of particular interest is the correlation between depression and neurological disorders, notably restless legs syndrome (RLS). In a recent article published in Gülhane Medical Journal by Çoban et al. (1), the authors shed light on how depression influences RLS, affecting fatigue, quality of life (QoL), and gastrointestinal symptoms. Beginning with an explanation of RLS symptoms and diagnosis, the article underscores the comprehensive impact of the condition, extending beyond mere physical discomfort to encompass ramifications for mental health. Moreover, the authors highlighted studies revealing a heightened prevalence of depression among RLS patients, prompting readers to delve deeper into this significant association (2).
