Internal state is a term used to describe how conditions like mood and past experiences impact decision making and behavior. Internal states can be studied by evaluating outward behaviors. Someone experiencing fatigue being unable to walk down the street without taking a break is an example of an internal state.
Acute and chronic pain are often managed with drug therapy, which may include extended use of drug classes such as opioids and benzodiazepines. Pain does not go away, and may intensify...
