    Chronic pain and depression frequently coexist. Effective management involves addressing biomedical, psychosocial, and pharmacological factors, with coping and acceptance strategies improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Comorbidity of chronic pain and depression is prevalent.

    • Chronic pain contributes to depression through biomedical, psychosocial, and pharmacological factors.

    Discussion:

    • Coping and acceptance of chronic pain correlate with reduced pain intensity, depression, and psychosocial disability.
    • Individualized analgesic use is crucial for managing chronic pain.
