Adem\u00e1s de provocar limitaciones f\u00edsicas, las personas con dolor cr\u00f3nico tambi\u00e9n sufren depresi\u00f3n y ansiedad. Esto dificulta el afrontamiento de la situaci\u00f3n y tambi\u00e9n puede repercutir en la capacidad de la persona para recuperarse del suceso. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/depression\/guide\/depression-chronic-pain#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">WebMD<\/a> explica la relaci\u00f3n entre el dolor cr\u00f3nico y la depresi\u00f3n y lo que puedes hacer para afrontarlo.<\/p>\n<p>El primer paso consiste en comprender el tipo de respuesta que suscita el dolor. Cuando una persona siente dolor, es habitual que experimente una serie de emociones, como frustraci\u00f3n, irritabilidad y ansiedad. Sin embargo, una vez que cesa el dolor la persona vuelve a su estado de \u00e1nimo anterior. Cuando el dolor es continuo, estos sentimientos se manifiestan en trastornos emocionales, que se caracterizan por baja autoestima, problemas para dormir, estr\u00e9s en la familia, aumento o p\u00e9rdida de peso, problemas de ira y problemas para regular el estado de \u00e1nimo.<\/p>\n<p>Con el tiempo, estos problemas pueden desembocar en otros a\u00fan m\u00e1s graves. Al estudiar a personas con dolor cr\u00f3nico y depresi\u00f3n, los investigadores descubrieron que su nivel de dolor en realidad se intensificaba, lo que no hac\u00eda sino exacerbar sus s\u00edntomas. Las relaciones interpersonales tambi\u00e9n se ven afectadas, y cuando una persona ya no puede conservar un empleo remunerado debido a lesiones pasadas es probable que la depresi\u00f3n empeore con el tiempo.<\/p>\n<p>Existen tratamientos, pero muchas personas deben tratar distintas facetas de su enfermedad con m\u00e9todos diferentes. Por ejemplo, la terapia conversacional y los antidepresivos pueden ayudar con los aspectos emocionales de la depresi\u00f3n relacionada con el dolor cr\u00f3nico. Tambi\u00e9n se recomienda alg\u00fan tipo de r\u00e9gimen de ejercicio, ya que es adecuado para tratar tanto los aspectos f\u00edsicos como los emocionales relacionados con el dolor cr\u00f3nico. La fisioterapia tambi\u00e9n puede ser \u00fatil, sobre todo si la persona pierde funcionalidad de la parte del cuerpo afectada o le resulta dif\u00edcil realizar tareas y quehaceres cotidianos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serious work injuries can sometimes result in chronic pain conditions.
