Understanding 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.
