Managing and diagnosing fibromyalgia in psychiatry

Abstract

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome that is quite common. This syndrome is often not diagnosed correctly because the symptoms are heterogeneous and often overlap with other diseases. In 2010, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) established a feasible diagnostic criterion for FM then in 2016 ACR revised FM criteria. The clinical problems of FM vary widely and depend on the individual’s management, depending on the severity and severity of the complexity, the degree of damage that occurs and the comorbidities in the psychiatric field that most commonly occur in anxiety disorders and depression.
