How are joint dysfunction (TMJ) and psychological health related?
The doctor's answer
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction is very often accompanied by painful sensations, which can be short-term or permanent.
Permanent pain and discomfort cannot help but affect mental health, and the longer this problem exists, the more difficult it is to come to health without the involvement of some allied health professionals.
Permanent pain and discomfort can't help but affect mental health, and the longer this problem exists, the harder it is to come to health without the involvement of some allied professionals. That is, if there is already some symptomatology on the mental health side, then it is necessary to consult allied professionals: neurologists, psychotherapists, osteopaths, in addition to dentists.
