The Complicated Relationship Between Migraine and Psychiatric Disorders

Topic: Migraine and Psychology/Psychiatry

Host: Mia Minen, MD, MPH, FAAN, FAHS [@MiaMinenMD]

Guest: Noah L. Rosen, MD, FAHS [@NoheadachesNoah]

Description: Both migraine and psychiatric disorders are common conditions that often go unrecognized, underserved and undertreated across the globe. The relationship between migraine and psychiatric disorders is complicated, and people dealing with both need informed care from a primary care provider who understands the nuances and connections between these conditions. Are there pharmacological treatments that may be considered to co-treat migraine and psychiatric comorbidities? What evidence is there for the efficacy of older drugs versus newer options for migraine and psychiatric disorders? We discuss these questions and more with Noah L. Rosen, MD, FAHS, Associate Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine at Northwell Health.
