I agree - i wonder if all the big ones - stress, anxiety, depression, pain could be discussed in these terms. time for 'explain depression' perhaps..... Thanks all and great observation John.

The outcome from those protective mechanisms, however, is not only pain. Depression can now be viewed as one of those protective mechanisms that can provide protection but also hell. This recent article in the NYTimes (particularly see the quote of Darwin in the article) demonstrates the potential protective origins of depression. It isn't just randomness that Pain and Depression have many close interrelations. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/magazine/28depression-t.html Kudos Lorimer.

Great job! I say that as a patient and a writer. That needs to be framed and hung on every clinician’s wall specifically the ones who deal with patients in pain. Great job!

We need communicators and disseminators like you - luckily you're also a therapist and a scientist... :-) Thanks for the inspiration of explaining complex things in a simple way that make patients feel safe and a bit more at ease with their condition. Props to you for trying to bridge science and therapy. It's still a rather seldom discipline. Wonderfully formulated and beautifully illustrated!

Reminds me of something my Grandad once said when an advert came on in the 1980's for a sophisticated new car that warned you when your seatbelt wasn't on and when the doors weren't closed etc.... "The more complicated and fancy it is the more there is to go wrong with it". And he stuck with his battered Vauxhall Viva. A thing of beauty.
