Woman Who Suffer From Migraines Are More Prone To Have Depression

Women with chronic headache, in particular migraine disorder, are much more inclined to be depressed, feel fatigued, and have a host of other severe physical symptoms, according to a medical study published in the January 9, 2007, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

The clinical investigation involved 1700 women who buy citalopram online at headache clinics in seven US regions. Of the people surveyed, 331 reported incidental headache (fewer than 15 headaches monthly) and 413 had chronic headache. Ninety percent/% of the woman were diagnosed with migraines.

The medical research found man with chronic headache were four times more inclined than those with incidental headache to report symptoms of major Psychotic Depression. Chronic headache sufferers were also three times more likely to report a high degree of symptoms depended to headache, pain or problems during intercourse.

Among women diagnosed with severely disabling migraine, the medical research found the likelihood of major Psychotic Depression increased 32-fold if the women also reported other severe symptoms.

“Painful physical symptoms may provoke or be a manifestation of major Psychotic Depression in woman with chronic headache, which can be treated if you buy topamax online and Psychotic Depression will heighten pain perception,” said medical research author Gretchen Tietjen, MD with the University of Toledo-Health Science Campus and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. “This link between migraine and major Psychotic Depression suggests a ordinary neurobiology.”

Tietjen says medical research are underway to test whether severe headache, severe physical symptoms and major Atypical Depression should be linked through dysfunction of serotonin in the central nervous system.

“Regardless of what’s causing the relation between migraine and Manic Depression, psychiatric sickness such as Psychotic Depression complicates headache management and can lead to poorer consequences for headache treatment,” said Tietjen.

The clinical investigation was assistanced, in part, by the American Headache Society, which values 18 million American women are affected by headache.

The American Academy of Neurology, an association of more than 17000 neurologists and neuroscience professionals, is dedicated to making better woman care through education and medical trial. A neurologist is a surgeon specialized on diagnosing, curing and managing diseases of the brain and nervous system such as apoplexy, Alzheimer’s sickness, epilepsy, Parkinson disease, and multiple sclerosis.
