Evaluate the drafted changes
Hi Zoe! Here's my peer review of your article.

Lead


 * I appreciate how you used more relevant sources for the definition of psychogenic pain and changed the definition to be more accurate.
 * I think since the lead section discusses the stigma and controversy surrounding chronic pain arising from emotional sources, it may be beneficial to add research related to this topic to the controversy section you started.
 * The statement in the lead that discusses sufferers are often stigmatized needs a citation to support the statement. (Sufferers are often stigmatized because both medical professionals and the general public tend to think that pain from psychological sources is not "real".)

Content


 * I think you can expand on the controversy and stigma surrounding the topic as well as expand on the treatment and interventions for the disorder. For example, the surgeries that target the portion of the brain associated with mood disorders can be described more specifically. Have there been any successful instances of surgery? What part of the brain does the surgery target?
 * The rest of your content looks highly relevant and up-to-date. Great job in adding the IASP's definition and including the ICD's explanation and disorders related to chronic pain was a great addition.

Sources and References


 * The article mainly uses recent scholarly sources, but when I clicked the links, the sources were inaccessible to me. They had to be purchased. So, it may be beneficial to add more accessible links.
 * Similar to what Liz said, you can add more scholarly sources by adding research about treatment, stigma, or controversy.

Organization


 * The content is well-written and unbiased. Great job in fixing the grammar mistakes within the main article as well as breaking down the definition of psychogenic pain from the IASP.

Overall


 * The content has definitely improved the quality of the article by making it more up-to-date and inclusive of recent developments in psychogenic pain.
 * I think the other places to improve would be to add more research and scholarly articles and expand the new section of Controversy that you started.
