AB There  are  many  challenging  issues  presented  to  a  clinician  when  dealing  with  persons  who  have  a  primary  report  of  chronic  pain  but  who  also  present  with  depression  and  other  comorbidities  (see  Table  17-1;  Box  17-1).  In  this  chapter  we  present  an  overview  of  epidemiology  of  pain  and  depression,  discuss  the  biological  basis  for  depression  and  pain,  review  commonly  used  assessment  measures  for  depression  in  persons  with  chronic  pain,  and  present  treatment  strategies  for  depression  and  chronic  pain,  including  psychopharmacology  and  psychotherapy.  We  also  include  a  brief  discussion  of  somatization  and  suicidal  ideation  associated  with  pain  and  depression.  Finally,  we  discuss  future  issues  related  to  this  topic.
