      The line between pain with a physical cause and physical pain that's psychological in origin is extremely blurry, with a lot of overlap. That's why, researchers says, psychological therapy works on both.https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/5/17/17276452/chronic-pain-treatment-psychology-cbt-mindfulness-evidence …

      Too many incompetent doctors that go the route of I can't find anything so it's in your head. If they dug deeper they would find the cause, which in my case was lyme disease. 20 doctors couldn't figure it out.

      I definitely think it was a gross oversight not to mention this. So many conditions are psychologized by doctors who have simply failed to make a diagnosis. The thing you just found out is the standard of care for patients with my disease in the UK, much to their torment.

      Yes, the problem with this take is that many conditions causing cognitive symptoms (esp those that disproportionately affect women) are treated as psychological by default, as a way to dismiss and stigmatize conditions they don’t understand, rather than dig deeper.

      i understand this crit. Getting a right diagnosis is obviously important, and no body wants their pain dismissed or overlooked. My point here was that psychological treatments and perspectives *do* take pain seriously, and are not dismissive.

      Replying to @B_resnick @jenbrea and

      I understand your point too, but what I (and I think Jen) are saying is that if you bring up one side of the coin (that CBT can help for *some* chronic pain patients), in all responsibility you have to point out the other side of the coin too -

      That psychologizing chronic pain patients by default does harm too when it’s used as a way to dismiss and ignore our problems.

      will think on this, and look to address this concern more clearly in this piece or a future one. I think the language here is also tough for doctors to get right. Psych is an option, but they should insinuate as a dismissal. Thanks for the thoughtful comments.
