Abstract

There is a strong association between pain and depression, and the presence of pain negatively affects the recognition and treatment of depression. Here, Dr Cocksedge and colleagues' explore the neurobiology behind this relationship and propose a new screening tool to assess patients with either condition for the coexistence of the other, with the potential for significantly better diagnosis, referral and hence treatment.
