Chronic Pain and Depression: Does the Evidence Support a Relationship?

Romano, Joan M.; Turner, Judith A.

Psychological Bulletin, v97 n1 p17-34 Jan 1985

A critical evaluation of the relevant literature provides some support for an association between depression and chronic pain. Common conceptual and methodological problems are discussed. Current biological and psychological models of the mechanisms by which the two syndromes may interact are summarized, and suggestions are made for future research. (Author/CB)
