Psychiatric Conditions

Investigations of migraine comorbidity have confirmed its association with diverse psychiatric conditions. This association appears to be strongest for major depression and anxiety disorders (particularly panic and phobia), but increased comorbidity has also been reported with substance abuse and certain mood disorders. This literature also indicates that greater psychiatric comorbidity exists for migraine sufferers with aura than without. Some support is found for the notion that psychiatric comorbidity is higher in transformed migraine than in simple migraine (particularly in the case of chronic substance abuse). However, research into the possible mechanisms underlying these associations remains limited. Studies examining the order of onset and the cross-transmission of migraine and psychiatric disorders in families have been unable to distinguish fully between causal and common aetiological models of association. The conclusions are discussed in light of both methodological and conceptual issues relevant to understanding migraine comorbidity.

Objective: Psychiatric diagnoses, parenting style, family functioning among children and adolescents with migraine, and psychiatric symptoms of their mothers were examined. Methods: The K-SADS and other measurements were used to assess psychiatric disorders in 50 children with migraine (aged 8-18) and matched 50 controls. Results: At least one psychiatric disorder was diagnosed in 56% of the migraine group. The presence of any psychiatric disorder in children (odds ratio [OR] = 2.765, P = .027) and somatization symptoms in their mothers (OR = 2.061, P = .025) were increasing the risk of migraine diagnosis. The parenting style scale assessments revealed that parents in the migraine group grant their children less autonomy. Conclusion: Psychiatric comorbidity, especially depression and anxiety disorders, is more common in children with migraine. The frequency of eating disorder is also higher. Evaluating comorbidity, family functioning, and particularly affective responsiveness in migraine families may guide the clinician to a targeted treatment plan.

The Relationship

Smoking is highly prevalent in individuals with psychiatric disorders. The relationship between smoking and anxiety disorders has received less attention than that of depression and substance use disorders, despite the fact that anxiety disorders are the most common of mental illnesses across the globe. In this study, we investigated the relationship between psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse, and comorbid combinations of these primary Axis I disorders and smoking cessation, in a cohort of 1,425 cancer patients who were participating in a smoking cessation clinical program. Patients were followed prospectively and assessed for abstinence status at the end of treatment and at 6-month posttreatment. Treatment involved six to eight behavioral smoking cessation counseling sessions over a 12- to 16-week period, and up to 12 weeks of smoking cessation pharmacotherapy. We hypothesized that patients with current anxiety disorders as well as other psychiatric disorders would have lower smoking cessation rates than those with no psychiatric disorders. There were no differences in abstinence rates between patients with anxiety disorders and those with no psychiatric disorders at end of treatment or 6 months. Patients with major depression or alcohol abuse had lower cessation rates than patients with no psychiatric disorders at 6 months. Findings suggest that both major depression and alcohol abuse may adversely affect treatment outcome in cancer patients. However, these findings should be considered within the limitations of observational studies that involve comparisons between nonrandomly assigned groups.

Background: Psychiatric conditions, mostly anxiety and mood disorders, are common in patients with chronic migraine. There has recently been extensive debate on migraine progression, but little is known about the role of psychiatric disorders in this respect. Objective: In order to evaluate the role of psychiatric disorders in migraine progression, we analyzed the temporal profile of migraine, mood and anxiety disorders, and years since onset of symptoms in chronic migraine (CM) patients. Methods: Fifty CM patients diagnosed according to the International Headache Society (2004) criteria were interviewed and diagnosed for mental disorders using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-I/P). Results: Anxiety disorders preceded the onset of episodic migraine, which was followed by depression and daily headaches. Conclusions: Psychiatric comorbidity evaluation in chronic migraine may lead to better patient management and clinical outcomes. Patients with a history of anxiety, episodic migraine, and depression may be at risk of developing CM. Early treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, and episodic migraine may prevent disease progression to CM.
