Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
Context: Migraine is associated with diverse psychiatric conditions, and particularly with major depression and anxiety disorders. However, substance abuse and certain mood disorders have also been reported as comorbid conditions. Some studies show that greater psychiatric comorbidity exists for migraine patients with aura than for those with without aura. There is evidence that psychiatric comorbidity is higher in patients with transformed migraine than in those with episodic migraine. Aims: To assess the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in patients with migraine. Settings and Design: A cross sectional study was conducted assessing all patients with migraine attending the Neurology OPD. Materials and Methods: This clinical investigation was conducted in the Department of Neurology. The study was conducted from January 2016 to March 2016. Patients with a definite diagnosis of migraine and aged 20-65 years were included. Patients with other neurological disorders and a history of psychiatric disorders were excluded. Statistical analysis used: Descriptive statistics were calculated using SPSS software. Chi square test was used to get the significance. Results: Out of the 50 patients with migraine10% had generalized anxiety disorder, 8% had major depressive disorder, 8% had mixed anxiety and depression, 6% had panic disorder, 4% patients had substance abuse, 4% had social phobia, 2% had obsessive compulsive disorder Conclusions: Migraine is predominantly associated with generalised anxiety disorder, followed by major depression and obsessive compulsive disorder
