The link between migraines and psychological distress.

The definitive link between the two.

Psychological factors such as overstated pain, along with depression and anxiety, all contribute to migraine-related disability. These psychological factors should be targeted, possibly alongside conventional meds, so as to reduce migraine frequency, and migraine-related disability.

Quite often migraines are triggered by psychological issues such as life stresses, or may involve actual depression and anxiety problems, which could be the result of unresolved traumas.
