It's just been within recent years (like about the last 3 to 5 I

would say) that they have started to understand even more

clearly how physical symptoms such as chronic pain (doesn't

matter if it's in the pelvic area or not) can be a symptom of

clinical depression. This is one reason why Cymbalta exists

because it can help the depression by helping the physical

symptoms. People who have clinical depression can have physical

symptoms but then when the depression is treated whether by

medication alone, or a combination of actual talk sessions with

a counselor and medicine, or for some just talking to a

counselor then the physical symptoms clear up too.

Problem with this is that because there are still a number of

doctors and even some in the general public that believe that

every person who has chronic pain must be depressed so

henceforth the phrase, " It's All in your Head " (meaning they

don't want to believe that there is a physical cause for the

pain).

This is why this kind of topic is such a hot one on lists like

this because sometimes it's not realized that there can be a

physical problem causing the pain and depression isn't an issue

until the struggle to find an answer comes in because they feel

like no one is listening.
