Description

Pain and mental illness are the most common reasons for visits to doctors and other healthcare professionals in primary care. These diseases can be caused by many different things and also often occur simultaneously in the same individual. We have shown in our studies that 10% of all children aged 1-12 years and 20% of all children aged 13-18 years seek care for non-specific pain annually. This means that more than 300,000 school-age children currently have pain that affects them to the extent that they need to seek care. Living with pain and or mental illness affects people of all ages in terms of impaired functioning, impaired health-related quality of life and reduced participation in everyday social life including school and work.
