Behavioral Health Referrals

When suffering from chronic pain, your nervous system can become wound up and increases its reactivity to incoming messages. This can be quite distressing and anxiety-provoking. Additionally, feelings of frustration or sadness can occur when the pain doesn’t go away. This increases the risk of depression and anxiety, and depression and anxiety strongly predict the development of chronic pain. This association is seen in conditions like fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome, where behavioral and psychological treatment strategies have shown benefit in reducing symptoms. That why the experts at Monarch Pain Management appreciate the direct correlation between improvement in one’s emotional well-being and their experience of pain and will refer patients to leading providers in both psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatments
