Chronic daily headache is a challenge for clinical practitioners and researchers. Etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of chronic daily headache present many questions that need answers. A chance occurrence of psychiatric disorders (mostly anxiety and mood disorders) in patients with chronic daily headache should not be excluded. This results in the need to understand the involved mechanisms, which requires us to draw new insights into the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of chronic daily headache. Psychiatric comorbidity seems to be cross-related to each of these dimensions, although the meanings need to be drawn. Each domain is discussed, considering the status of knowledge and stressing the future lines of research.

Background:Migraine is a common disorder which has psychiatric sequelae.Objective:The objective of this study was to determine the clinical pattern and psychiatric comorbidity of migraine.Materials and Methods:100 cases of migraine seen over a period of one year were analysed to know the sociodemographic characteristics, clinical pattern and psychiatric morbidity.Results:Maximum patients were between 31-40 years of age group (40%), females (78.0%), married (76%) and housewives (56.0%). Family history of migraine was present in 12% cases. Average age of onset was 22 years. Unilateral and throbbing type of headache was most common. The commonest frequency was one to two per week. Migraine without aura was commonest sub-type (80%). Generalized anxiety disorder (F41.1) was the most common psychiatric disorder (34%), followed by mixed anxiety and depressive disorder (F41.2) (18%) and depressive episode (F32) (14%). In 22% cases, no psychiatric disorder could be elicited.Conclusion:The present study confirms that majority patients with migraine had psychiatric disorders. This needs timely detection and appropriate intervention to treat and control the migraine effectively.

“…The association of headache with psychiatric disorders has been under discussion for decades, with migraine the focus of particular attention (1)(2)(3)(4). Kolb (5) emphasized the importance of emotional factors, noting that they appear to represent the common precipitators of many headaches, both in the psychological and physiological translation of anxiety into a physical symptom, and in terms of headaches as symbolic communications of distress.…”

Clinical evidence suggests that chronic daily headache (CDH) occurs in association with psychopathologies: previous studies have focused particularly on migraine. To evaluate this association, we studied, using the DSM-IIIR criteria, a population of 88 patients (18M, 70F) affected by CDH (mean duration 7.4 +/- 8.7 years). We documented the presence of a psychiatric disorder in 90% of this population. The most frequent diagnosis was a comorbidity of anxiety and mood disorders. The comorbidity of psychiatric disorders and headache has important implications as far as treatment is concerned.
