Migraines and Depression

Migraineurs (Migraine Sufferers) find solace in a dark quiet room to appease their throbbing headaches. Migraineurs, though, are five times more probable to develop clinical hopelessness than people who do not have these debilitating headaches. Equally, people who are despondent are three times likelier than cheery people to turn out to be migraineurs.

Several scientists consider the intertwining of migraine and sadness as a chicken or egg situation. They are obviously comorbid, but does one cause the other? If so, which one commences the process, the migraine or the hopelessness? The key is not that plain. Migraines, depression, and, unsurprisingly, sleeplessness, a condition linked with both conditions have something in common. All three are related with neurotransmitter defects in the brain.

Experts judge that while they are connected, melancholy and migraine headaches have individual causes with an analogous neurobiology. For years, physicians faulted dejection in migraineurs on their resulting loss of quality of life due to headaches. Now it seems as though the tie is a biologic common mechanism rather than psychology.

One menace for clinically miserable migraineurs is a possible drug interaction between their dejection prescription and their migraine drugs. In July 2006, the FDA acknowledged one such threat, that of assimilating triptans for migraines with SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors), used to cure dejection and mood disorders. Adding the medicines can lead to a situation called serotonin syndrome.

Serotonin syndrome arises when there is unnecessary serotonin in the body. Warning signs include visions, increased heart rate and body temperature, rapid changes in blood pressure, and gastrointestinal upset. Now and then, a patient has no choice but to take these prescriptions together, but they should weigh their alternatives with their specialist and be monitored faithfully for serotonin syndrome.
