Question

A patient with depression symptoms, suicidal ideation, and hopelessness was starting his own company after a long career in construction. Despite having no predisposition to mental health problems, he was experiencing increased body pain due to a prior injury. He attributed the depression to a change in his social life as his new business took up all his time. The patient had a severe motorcycle accident five years ago and had bilateral hip replacement surgery. He was diagnosed with vascular necrosis, causing chronic pain from bone death. Pain is inevitable and indicates disease progression, and it affects mental health, leading to dysregulation of emotions and chemical imbalances. Chemical imbalances cause a decrease in the hormone Cortisol, which improves mood and cognitive functioning. The patient initially believed depression and anxiety were caused by social factors, but when educated about chronic pain-induced depression, he recognized the impact of chronic pain and health struggles on his mental health.
