According to a 2003 telephone interview based study in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry, 40% of individuals who reported experiencing an episode of major depression also had a chronic painful condition, such as headache or backache. Moreover, participants who reported both depression and a chronic painful condition had, on average, depressive episodes that lasted six months longer than individuals who did not report any chronic pain. "Therefore," the authors of the study noted, "pain could also contribute to the prolongation of a depressive episode."
