Mental health issues, especially depression, are common in chronic pain patients. Depression affects these patients negatively and could lead to poor control of their pain. Some risk factors for both chronic pain and depression are known and need to be targeted as part of the management in a multidisciplinary approach. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of depression among chronic pain patients attending a pain clinic and to explore the association between depression in chronic pain patients and other factors such as sociodemographic features, number of pain sites, severity of pain, and types of pain. This is a cross-sectional study that carried out in a chronic pain clinic in a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre). All chronic pain patients including cancer-related pain, apart from acute pain patients and children, were eligible to participate in the study. Association between depression and sociodemog...

Psychiatric Morbidity in Pain Conditions: Results from the Singapore Mental Health Study
Pain Research & Management, 2013
C hronic pain is a common problem among the general population (1,2). Estimates of prevalence vary depending on the methodology used and the pain conditions examined. The 12-month prevalence estimates of chronic pain range from 17% to 29% in Europe (3,4). Surveys have established the prevalence of chronic pain conditions to be 37.3% in developed countries and 41.1% in developing countries (2). Chronic pain affects individuals' well-being, productivity and social relationships (5,6) and has been found to be associated with psychiatric disorders in studies based on clinical samples (7,8) as well as studies involving epidemiological surveys (9,10). Depression is the most commonly reported comorbidity in chronic pain conditions; in a literature review, Bair et al (11) found depression to be present in 5% to 85% (depending on the study setting) of patients with pain conditions. Recent epidemiological data have shown a strong association between generalized anxiety disorder and pain conditions (9,12), while only a few studies have shown higher odds of alcohol use disorders among individuals suffering from pain disorders (9,12). This association has important clinical implications because patients with psychiatric disorders often present to their primary care provider with pain as the initial reason for seeking treatment, and the lack of awareness of the association may lead to the underdiagnosis and undertreatment of the associated psychiatric disorder. Studies involving patients with chronic pain have shown that coexisting psychiatric disorders are associated with disability and poorer treatment outcomes (13,14) and, similarly, the presence of pain in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with poorer outcomes, increased overall treatment costs, impaired productivity and poor quality of life (15-17). The aims of the present study were to establish the prevalence, correlates and comorbidities of chronic pain disorders among the adult population of Singapore. We also assessed the quality of life and extent of role disability among individuals with chronic pain. The present study was one of the first to examine the comorbidity of common psychiatric disorders with chronic pain disorders in a community sample involving a multiethnic Asian population.
