The Pain Scale Is Broken But This May Fix It
Chronic pain is reported by over 20 percent of the global population but there is no scientific determination of what that even means.
There are metrics but standard 0-to-10 scales and questionnaires are subjective and basically only useful for justifying treatments to insurance companies, they are clinically not much help.
Pain patients were demonized by the Obama administration in their war on Big Pharma and "opiods" that many in Congress now claim to support and that may be why both doctors and patients minimize their symptoms on official forms. No patient wants to be told their pain is just recreational desire while doctors are the easy targets for government. That plus general recall bias and confusion about what a pain scale really means clouds the issue.

Study Links Antidepressants, Beta-blockers and Statins To Increased Autism Risk
An analysis of 6.14 million maternal-child health records has linked prescription medications to higher rates of Autism Spectrum Disorder in offspring.
Sterol biosynthesis–inhibiting medications (SBIMs) inhibit the cholesterol synthesis pathway and are include antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, beta-blockers and statins; aripiprazole, atorvastatin, bupropion, buspirone, fluoxetine, haloperidol, metoprolol, nebivolol, pravastatin, propranolol, rosuvastatin, sertraline, simvastatin, cariprazine and trazodone.
These include some of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States, accounting for more than 400 million annual prescriptions.
