Abstract
Pain is one of the most common reasons that patients access the health care system and if not managed appropriately can lead to a multitude of adverse consequences. Pain presents as a barrier for both the patient and the physician. For the patient, it is a major source of physical disability, emotional distress, functional limitation and social disability. For the physician it is challenging from a clinical assessment standpoint and finding an appropriate management strategy. There is a high prevalence of hospitalized medical patients with psychiatric and behavioral health disorders (Pezzia et al., BMC Health Serv Res 18(1):336, 2018). Assessment and treatment of pain is particularly complex for patients with mental health issues, but it is encountered so often as mental illnesses and pain frequently co-occur (Dewar, J Psychosoc Nurs 45(7):8–9, 2007; Gatchel, Am Psychol 59(8):795–805, 2004). Therefore, a comprehensive, multimodal treatment plan, individualized to each patient is required and increases the opportunities for successful treatment. In this chapter, we review prevalence of pain in hospitalized patients with psychiatric illness.
