In fibromyalgia patients, cognitive impairment in the field of direct memory was confirmed. There could be a specific type of personality in people who develop fibromyalgia; these people are more conscientious and agreeable than people in the reference group and the population. The presence and intensity of depressive symptoms correlate significantly with the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Anxiety is a relatively constant feature of the personality of people with fibromyalgia. People suffering from fibromyalgia assess their family relationships equally well as those suffering from other painful spine disorders.
