Abstract
Many patients with pain also suffer from depression. The exact relationship between these two problems is unclear but it appears that, in many patients, the depression may not simply be secondary to the pain. When these problems coexist, successful management requires the proper assessment and treatment of both. This paper discusses depressive disorders associated with pain and their treatment, with special focus on medication management.
