"I can't remember if I was depressed about my migraine headache or I had a migraine headache because of my depression," joked one client.

It doesn't matter if it is a joke or not. Depression and headaches are always interlinked .
When you first get the pain one tend to say of course she is depressed because she is in pain. But it is not the only reason.
One recent study showed that 67% of people who suffer from chronic depression (depression lasting longer than six months and generally not attributed to any one depressive episode, e.g., death of a loved one) also suffer from migraine headache.
One should remember that this study speaks only about chronic depression and not about migraine headache. It is just too high to ignore.
Another research shows that 40% of people who suffer from chronic depression also suffer from chronic pain like back pain or head ache. Does that mean depression causes migraines?
This is found through a study that a person who experienced pain with depression did suffer from depression for six months on an average than with those people who did not suffer from depression.
Depression is 4 times higher in women than men. But other experts do believe that many people report tension headache symptoms but this is actually the symptoms of depression.
They both share the same platform. Still it is not clear whether depression causes headache or headache causes depression.
In fact, research showed that treating one condition with medication for the other did show some promise. Evidence suggests that both conditions involve serotonin receptors and transporters.
Here is where Soapbox and preach are used. Mostly medications used for headache and migraine can be trial and error method. So one should be careful about the treatment.
Even FDA has warned about combining certain migraine medicines and antidepressants. Medications for migraine can cause life-threatening condition known as serotonin syndrome.
I highly recommend that you talk to a professional about your symptoms if you are suffering from chronic headache and/or chronic depression but don't be afraid to ask for natural treatment options.
The natural exercises in the program are very effective and with proven results. If highly recommend you to use my migrai9ne and headache program. This is if you suffer from migraine headaches.
