Unmasking Fibromyalgia in Psychiatric Practice: Linking Pain, Sleep, Mental Health, and Patient-Centered Communication

Supported by an educational grant from Tonix Pharmaceuticals.

Fibromyalgia often hides behind the depression, anxiety, and sleep complaints psychiatric clinicians see daily. This masterclass covers how to recognize and diagnose FM using current ACR criteria and practical screening tools, how to select among established and newly approved therapies, and how to communicate the diagnosis in a way that validates patients and strengthens engagement and multidisciplinary care.
