Abstract

Managing Fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression can be extremely challenging. Fibromyalgia manifests as widespread muscle and joint pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. It often coexists with anxiety and depression, exacerbating the syndemic and significantly impacting quality of life. This literature review looks at integrative methods for treating these many illnesses, highlighting the need for a more complete approach beyond regular treatments. To make treatments work, we need to understand how fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression are all connected. Traditional therapies have helped people deal with their problems. Still, they have boundaries, and people want care focused on them, which has made people interested in integrative methods. Integrative medicine, which looks at the mind, body, and spirit, might help treat these problematic conditions.
