More than half of all Americans suffer from chronic pain. Of this staggering amount, more than half also suffer from depression. Individuals afflicted with chronic pain and/or depression are at risk for opioid abuse, opioid overdose, and suicide, but when considered as comorbidities, the risk increases. Although some pain clinics screen for depression and provide referrals for mental health services based on screening, many do not. Chronic pain patients are often treated using a biopsychosocial approach via a multidisciplinary model, but existential crises are often not considered within the therapeutic relationship. Consequently, these theoretical frameworks were the foundation from which to explore 150 or more de-identified medical records of chronic pain patients in pain clinics in the Midwest using a quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental design. While current research has addressed the relationship between chronic pain and depression, the literature lacks knowledge about the impact of screening patients, those treated with or without opioids for depression with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the number of mental health referrals that are generated based on these scores. The results revealed that most patients were screened using the PHQ-9, slightly over half (50.8%) of the patients were treated with opioids. No relationship was found between PHQ-9 scores and the opioid compared to non-opioid treatment type. Results call attention to the need to screen for depression and appropriate mental health referrals to reduce, opioid abuse, overdose, and suicide.
