About Chronic Pain & Mental Health

Chronic pain and psychiatric conditions share overlapping neural pathways and bidirectionally worsen each other. Up to 85% of patients with chronic pain experience significant depression or anxiety, and untreated mental health conditions reduce pain treatment effectiveness. Psychiatrists can prescribe medications (SNRIs like Cymbalta and Effexor, tricyclics) that treat both conditions simultaneously, and therapy can significantly reduce pain perception and disability.

Chronic Pain & Mental Health is highly treatable with the right care. Molina covers chronic pain & mental health treatment at Lyte Psychiatry under its mental health benefit.
