104: Ask David — The Treatment of Acute and Chronic Pain
Manage episode 216105078 series 1691042
David describes research on the relationship between physical pain and negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, and anger. Does pain cause depression? Or does depression cause or amplify pain?
And what can we do to help patients with physical pain and intense negative emotions?
In addition, why do so many individuals struggle with somatic problems, such as physical pain, dizziness, or fatigue, when there is no apparent organic cause for the pain? Is there any hope?
