Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Psychiatry
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Comorbidity between psychiatric conditions and migraine is prevalent and significant.
- Understanding mental health in migraine patients is crucial for comprehensive care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in migraine patients.
- Utilized a standardized clinical diagnostic tool for assessment.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional study conducted in a North Indian tertiary care hospital outpatient department.
- 146 migraine patients were enrolled.
- ICD-10 mental disorder symptom checklist used for psychiatric comorbidity assessment.
Main Results:
- 70.5% of migraine patients exhibited psychiatric comorbidity.
- Depressive disorder (17.1%) was the most frequent comorbidity.
- Lower socioeconomic status and migraine with aura were associated with higher comorbidity rates.
Conclusions:
- Migraine patients have a high prevalence of comorbid psychiatric disorders.
- The interplay between migraine patient demographics, medical factors, and psychiatric comorbidities is intricate.

Atypical antidepressants, including bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), trazodone (Desyrel), and vilazodone (Viibryd), offer unique mechanisms of action. Bupropion weakly inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, aiding depression treatment and smoking cessation, with a low risk of sexual dysfunction. Mirtazapine enhances serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission, leading to sedation, increased appetite, and weight gain. As a result, it helps treat...
