That’s interesting you mention the psychological aspect—I searched a lot of material on RSI, but don’t recall seeing this discussed before. When I initially developed RSI it didn’t bother me much, but as the physical symptoms progressed it upset me more and probably ultimately contributed to some moderate depression I developed (it didn’t help that my depression was related to difficulty reaching professional goals, and the RSI was slowing me down on achieving them). I put off treatment for both when they were at the mild stage and ultimately only treated the RSI after I treated the depression—maybe that was the wrong order to take.
