Because pain and psychiatric conditions are highly comorbid and intimately related at a biological, sociological, and psychological level, treating pain as a dual-diagnosis disorder may lead to improved outcomes for chronic refractory pain. ow.ly/PSsk50Ypftn @APAPsychiatric @MindXSciences

How is digital media use, including social media and video games, associated with child health and development? "Findings: In this systematic review and meta-analysis of up to 153 longitudinal studies, poorer developmental outcomes were associated with digital media use in children and adolescents. -Social media use was associated with higher depression, behavioral problems, self-injury, and substance use, and lower self-perception and academic achievement -video gaming was linked to greater aggression and externalizing behavior, but modestly higher attention and executive functioning Meaning: These results demonstrate that digital media use shows modest but consistent links with poorer developmental outcomes, highlighting the need for nuanced, developmentally informed guidance and policy." watermark02.silverchair.com/jamapediatrics…
