Googling autoimmune "mental stress", being the less scientific term, gives us 12,800 links, with quite a few interesting articles on the first page, such as:
JRA has been "renamed" to "Juvenile idiopathic arthritis", idiopathic meaning they haven't the foggiest idea what causes it. So while JRA is not directly related to "regular" rheumatoid arthritis, it too shows a direct link with various forms of "stress", physical, emotional or otherwise. With many other autoimmune diseases, such as Psoriasis, the connection between the initial occurrence or later outbursts, is much clearer.
