Dr. Stahl is another one of those professionals who isn't exactly bias free.

Please understand I don't disagree that pain can be a part of depression. But what I found disturbing about his article is there is no attempt to even distinguish situations in which pain might not have anything to do with depression.
That could be very costly to someone's life.
