RealAge answered:Occasional bouts of depression, anger, frustration and anxiety because of chronic pain may not be a big deal, but if they persist, it's important to take action. Distract yourself from constant pain and brighten your mood by doing activities you love. Explore new stress-reduction techniques, work with a cognitive behavioral therapist or join a pain support group. Talking to others about your chronic pain can help ease the pain symptoms.
