      I have implemented rel="next" and rel = "prev" across our site but google console is picking it up as duplications.  Also individual pages show up in search result too.  Here is an example linkhttp://www.empowher.com/mental-health/content/sizeismweightism-how-cope-it-and-how-it-affects-mental-healthhttp://www.empowher.com/mental-health/content/sizeismweightism-how-cope-it-and-how-it-affects-mental-health?page=0,3The second link shows up as duplicate.  What can i do to fix this issue?

        I think the  second link is showing as duplicate because the page has exact same title. I did face similar issue and I added "Page=n" to the title using the software. This may or may not be possible in the software you have but essentially the links are not showing the same pages and so there title should be different.
