Explaining high rates of depression in chronic pain: A diathesis-stress framework.

Abstract: Depression has been observed to accompany chronic pain. Yet, controversy remains regarding the extent and nature of the relationship between these 2 disorders. The authors analyze the literature regarding depression rates in chronic pain and other chronic medical populations and argue that depression appears to be highest among chronic pain patients. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral models of depression, the authors explore the unique psychological experiences of living with chronic pain that may account for … Show more

“…Fewer happiness experiences and more frequent sadness was found in both the chronic pain and depressed group, which supports previous research suggesting that depression is prevalent in chronic pain (e.g. Banks & Kerns, 1996). There is evidence that positive affect attenuates the relationship between chronic pain and negative affect and helps build pain resilience (Zautra, Smith, Affleck, & Tennen, 2001;Zautra et al, 2005).…”

“…The relationship between depression and chronic pain is well documented in other chronic conditions, and is likely bidirectional. 38,57 . Banks and Kerns suggest that having a chronic medical condition increases depression risk, and that the specific nature of chronic pain increases this risk further, noting that pain is Binextricably associated with negative affect.^3 8 Pain is aversive and seemingly psychologically inescapable; it follows that a substantial minority of patients with chronic pain experience depression.…”

“…This model postulates that avoidance of physical activity leads directly to a withdrawal of positive reinforcers (e.g., employment) and thereby increases depressive symptoms as well. 37 Depression is a common consequence of having chronic pain, 38 and pain symptoms predict the onset of depression. 39,40 Although there may also be biological links, there are psychological connections between chronic pain and depression, both treated by primary care providers, which may be prominent in the treatment of buprenorphine patients.…”
