Yes, part of chronic pain is depression. We were not ment to live in chronic pain nor do we have the tools to deal with it. One of the ways a psychiatrist can help is meds like cymbalta that are perscribed both as an antidepressant and an analgesic. In addition, a psychologist can help with CBT which is a method that is commonly used to help you adjust to your new life as a pain patient.
