Interesingly, there are antidepressant-like drugs used for pain like phantom limb and neuropathy (like demyelinated nerves due to Shingles)... because it can "ignored" to varying degrees. As someone who's been both deeply major depressed, where tiny pains become an all-consuming focus and not depressed where a hand sliced open is not a big deal... Pain definitely interacts with mental well-being, and can lead to a spectrum of suffering between all-consuming focus or compartmentalized item. More research needs to be done on the functional perception of pain, because it could radically reduce pain prescriptions by instead controlling the suffering of non-survival-beneficial pain at its ultimate destination rather than carpetbombing patients with addictive substances. http://www.webmd.com/pain-management/tricyclic-antidepressan... |
