@adiemusfree DSM5 covers all mental health diagnoses including psychological. #Pain is probably our most primitive response. Based on fear.

[David Beaumont @RehabForWork]

@adiemusfree OK good challenge. #ChronicPain is classed as a Somatic Symptom Disorder in DSM5. Maybe it's a manifestation of distress. Fear.

[David Beaumont @RehabForWork]

Yeah @adiemusfree I get that, just don't think it's captured by the #IASP definition. 'Psychological' doesn't cut it.

[David Beaumont @RehabForWork]

@adiemusfree love you photos! Struggling with definitions of 'pain'. how is central sensitisation captured?
