In this article, we aim to highlight the specific role of nurses in the interdisciplinary model of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. We argue that the plural competencies of our profession are at the heart of future issues in psychiatry and the use of psychedelics.

- A study called ARATA looked at how well a medicine called subcutaneous tocilizumab (TCZ-SC) works for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over two years.
- They found that about 58.7% of patients improved a lot by the end of the study, and many reported feeling better with less pain and fatigue.
- The treatment was safe with few side effects, and patients were happy with how it worked for them!
Objectives: To assess whether tocilizumab treatment is associated with changes in depression symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during routine daily care.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from a German non-interventional study (ARATA) of adult, tocilizumab-naïve RA patients who initiated subcutaneous tocilizumab and were followed for 52 weeks. The Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) was used to assess symptoms of depression and create baseline subgroups of no (BDI-II<14), mild (14-19), moderate (20-28), and severe (≥29) depression.
Background/objective: The majority of patients in Germany miss out on the necessity of early diagnosis and initiation of therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) caused by considerable structural deficits in the health care system. The challenge is to reconcile the individual demand for the best possible therapy result with a sustainable expenditure of resources.
Methods: The cross-sectoral regional care network ADAPTHERA aims to improve early RA diagnosis and treatment in Rhineland-Palatinate.
