Abstract		Chronic depression can be manifested in the form of various emotional and physical symptoms, often including chronic physical pain. Almost half of all people suffering from depression experience comorbid symptoms, such as pain and discomfort. The relationship between chronic pain and depression is complex and requires further research and definition. It is important for physicians to remain aware of the role that one condition may play in the development of anuther. In treating comorbid depression or anxiety with painful physical symptoms, physicians should strive for complete remission of all symptoms. Some new encouraging treatment options are emerging.
Summary		Kronična depresija se lahko izrazi v številnih čustvenih in telesnih simptomih, ki pogosto vključujejo kronično telesno bolečino. Skoraj polovica vseh oseb z depresijo ima izkušnje s takšnimi simptomi bolečine in neugodja. Povezava med kronično bolečino in depresijo je kompleksna ter potrebuje nadaljnje raziskovanje in opredelitev. Pomembno je, da so zdravniki pozorni na vlogo, ki jo ima eno stanje v drugem. V zdravljenju sopojavnosti depresije in tesnobnosti zbolečimi telesnimi simptomi morajo zdravniki stremeti k popolni odsotnosti vseh simptomov. Pojavljajo se nove obetajoče terapevtske možnosti.
