About 50\% of depressed patients report pain, and many types of pain occur more frequently in people with depression than in those without. There is some evidence that pain in depressed patients is associated with a poor response to treatment. Pain and depression may share common pathways and may both respond to treatment with certain antidepressants. Doctors need to be alert to pain in depressed patients and be prepared to treat it.}, issn = {1470-2118}, URL = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/5/4/390}, eprint = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/5/4/390.full.pdf}, journal = {Clinical Medicine} }
