## Overview[edit | edit source]

DSM 5 divides fibromyalgia into four groups based on the differences in psychological and autonomic nervous system profiles among affected individuals. These four groups are: extreme sensitivity to pain with no associated psychiatric conditions, fibromyalgia with comorbid pain-related depression, depression with concomitant fibromyalgia syndrome, and fibromyalgia due to somatization.[1][2][3]
