Background: There are many measures assessing related dimensions of the chronic pain experience (eg, pain severity, pain coping, depression, activity level), but the relationships among them have not been systematically established.
Objective: The present study set out to determine the core dimensions requiring assessment in individuals with chronic pain.
Methods: Individuals with chronic pain (n=126) completed the Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Hopelessness Scale, Chronic Pain Coping Index, Multidimensional Pain Inventory, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire--Short Form, Pain Disability Index and the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia.
Objective: ADHD presents significant challenges to adults. The current review's goals are (a) to critically examine the current state of knowledge regarding ADHD in adults and (b) to provide clinicians with practice-friendly information regarding assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.
Method: Searches of PsycINFO and Medline were conducted, and reference lists from articles and books were searched for additional relevant references.
