“…Negative emotional states, including anxiety, depression and anger, are associated with headache triggers, intensity of headache pain, and response to treatment [46, 47]. Coping skills have also been shown to moderate the relationship between headache severity and depression [48]. …”

Background Previous studies have demonstrated an association between migraine and major depressive disorder. However, relatively little is known about the relationship between suicidal ideation, with or without concurrent depression, and migraine. Objective We conducted a systematic literature review to synthesize the available research focused on investigating the association of migraine with suicidal ideation. Methods Relevant research papers were identified through searches of major electronic databases including PubMed, Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), PsycINFO (EBSCO), and Google Scholar. We performed a meta-analysis to estimate the pooled unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for the association between migraine and suicidal ideation extracted from each study. Results A total of 148,977 participants in six studies were included in this analysis. Overall, findings from available studies documented elevated odds of suicidal ideation among individuals with migraines. In unadjusted models, the odds of suicidal ideation was 2.49-fold higher among individuals with migraine (OR: 2.49; 95%CI: 2.34–2.65) compared to those without migraine. In multivariate-adjusted models, the pooled adjusted OR of suicidal ideation was 1.31 (OR: 1.31; 95%CI: 1.10–1.55). Conclusions A meta-analysis of available studies suggests a modest positive association between migraine and suicidal ideation. Further studies allowing for a more comprehensive investigation of the association between migraine and the full range of suicidal behaviors are warranted. A larger and more robust evidence-base may be useful to inform the clinical screening and diagnoses of comorbid conditions in migraineurs.

“…Those who perceive that stress affects their health may have an external locus of control, believing that their health is not in their control, but attributable to external circumstances. Studies have indicated that individuals who have a high external locus of control experience worse outcomes than those who feel that their health is within their control (Heath, Saliba, Mahmassani, Major, & Khoury, 2008; Preau et al, 2005). Although much of this research has focused on those with an illness, the present study suggests that health-related locus of control (as seen in a greater perceived impact of stress on health) may also contribute to outcomes in healthy populations.…”

Objective This study sought to examine the relationship among the amount of stress, the perception that stress affects health, and health and mortality outcomes in a nationally-representative sample of U.S. adults. Methods Data from the 1998 National Health Interview Survey were linked to prospective National Death Index mortality data through 2006. Separate logistic regression models were used to examine the factors associated with current health status and psychological distress. Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine the impact of perceiving that stress affects health on all-cause mortality. Each model specifically examined the interaction between the amount of stress and the perception that stress affects health, controlling for sociodemographic, health behavior, and access to healthcare factors. Results 33.7% of nearly 186 million (n=28,753) U.S. adults perceived that stress affected their health a lot or to some extent. Both higher levels of reported stress and the perception that stress affects health were independently associated with an increased likelihood of worse health and mental health outcomes. The amount of stress and the perception that stress affects health interacted such that those who reported a lot of stress and that stress impacted their health a lot had a 43% increased risk of premature death (HR = 1.43, 95% CI [1.20, 1.71]). Conclusions High amounts of stress and the perception that stress impacts health are each associated with poor health and mental health. Individuals who perceived that stress affects their health and reported a large amount of stress had an increased risk of premature death.

“…Specifi c cognitive goals include enhancing self-effi cacy (ie, the patient's belief in his or her ability to succeed or accomplish a certain task), and helping patients gain an internal locus of control (ie, a belief that the mechanism for change lies within oneself) as opposed to an external locus of control (ie, the belief that only the physician, medication, or medical procedures have the power for change) [32]. Research has demonstrated that both poor self-effi cacy and external locus of control predict poorer outcomes [33,34]. CBT also may focus on changing "catastrophizing," a hopeless and overwhelming thinking pattern that has been shown to predict poor outcome and reduced quality of life.…”

Primary headaches, including migraine and medication overuse headache (MOH), can be conceptualized as biobehavioral disorders based on the interaction of biological, psychological, and environmental factors. This article reviews empirically supported and efficacious behavioral approaches to the treatment and management of headaches in general, with an emphasis on migraine and MOH from a biopsychosocial perspective. Evidence-based behavioral medicine treatments for migraine and MOH are reviewed, including patient education, cognitive behavioral therapy, and biobehavioral training (biofeedback, relaxation training, and stress management). Information regarding psychological comorbidities and risk factors for progression of migraine and the development of MOH is also reviewed. Strategies are provided for enhancing adherence and motivation, as well as facilitating medical communication.
