Abstract
This study attempted to understand the role of controllability and learned helplessness in the experience of Fibromyalgia (FMS) patients. The study was crosssectional and correlational and examined the relationships between controllability, learned helplessness, depression, and somatic/retarded activity. The study concluded controllability and learned helplessness were associated with depression and could also predict depression. In addition, the study showed that learned helplessness was associated and could predict somatic/retarded activity in FMS patients.
