Suffering from chronic pain not only takes a toll on an individual’s physical health, but also on one’s mental health. Persistent and chronic pain can be debilitating to a person’s quality of life and negatively impact their day-to-day functioning. Many people who suffer from chronic pain also experience depression and/or anxiety. It is important to learn positive coping mechanisms to include positive thinking, healthy distractions, stress management, relaxation techniques, cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness, and more.
