Hello Members,
I am Suma, from India. Am the author of the article that has been discussed here. I know I'm a "little" late in seeing this forum, and I am not here to justify, just to clarify few things.

The research was done in 2010 and by the time it was published in 2012, I think many concepts had already changed!!

But that's not why I joined this group. I suffer from fibromyalgia syndrome since 6 years, and I mean "suffer" And I have TMD as a part of it. All the doctors I consulted for my TMJ pain never correlated it with all the other "non-specific" symptoms that I had. That's what prompted me in researching this topic, and in writing the article to urge all dentists to consider these diagnoses when diagnosing a person with TMD. Nevertheless, I would definitely say that if I had written the same article in 2014, I would not have used the word "psychosocial".
