Area of Science:

Neurology
Psychiatry

Background:

Migraine is a prevalent neurological disorder.
It is often associated with psychiatric sequelae.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the clinical characteristics of migraine patients.
To determine the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in migraine.

Main Methods:

Analysis of 100 migraine cases over one year.
Evaluation of sociodemographic data, clinical presentation, and psychiatric morbidity.

Main Results:

Most common demographic: females aged 31-40, married housewives.
Migraine without aura was the most frequent subtype (80%).
Generalized anxiety disorder (34%) was the most common psychiatric comorbidity, followed by mixed anxiety/depressive disorder (18%) and depressive episode (14%).

Conclusions:

Migraine patients frequently exhibit psychiatric disorders.
Timely identification and intervention are essential for effective migraine treatment and control.
