“…The evidence of a possible link between chronic headache and psychiatric disorder is not a recent finding. Back in 1895, Living described the occurrence of depressed mood, irritability, and anxiety in patients with chronic headache 24. However, recently, research indicates that this association may be explained by shared neuropathic mechanisms between pain and affective disorders,37 perhaps involving limbic activation 38.…”

The aim of this study was to explore the impact of mental illness among patients with migraine. We performed MedLine and PsycINFO searches from 1980 to 2008. Research has systematically documented a strong bidirectional association between migraine and psychiatric disorders. The relationship between migraine and psychopathology has often been clinically discussed rather than systematically studied. Future research should include sound methodologically-based studies focusing on the interplay of factors behind the relationship between migraine, suicide risk, and mental illness.

“…Among the modifiable risk factors for headache, stress and/or the psychiatric comorbidity are thought to be the greatest contributors to chronification,43 and emotional stress is frequently reported by patients affected by migraine as an important trigger for attacks 44. Indeed, how stressful events may promote the development of chronic migraine is still debated, even if neurochemical changes seem to be involved 45,46.…”

BackgroundMigraine without aura is a primary headache which is frequent and disabling in the developmental age group. No reports are available concerning the prevalence and impact of migraine in children on the degree of stress experienced by parents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of maternal stress in a large pediatric sample of individuals affected by migraine without aura.MethodsThe study population consisted of 218 children (112 boys, 106 girls) of mean age 8.32 ± 2.06 (range 6–13) years suffering from migraine without aura and a control group of 405 typical developing children (207 boys, 198 girls) of mean age 8.54 ± 2.47 years. Mothers of children in each group answered the Parent Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) questionnaire to assess parental stress levels.ResultsThe two groups were matched for age (P = 0.262), gender (P = 0.983), and body mass index adjusted for age (P = 0.106). Mothers of children with migraine without aura reported higher mean PSI-SF scores related to the Parental Distress domain (P < 0.001), Dysfunctional Parent-Child Interaction domain (P < 0.001), Difficult Child subscale (P < 0.001), and Total Stress domain than mothers of controls (P < 0.001). No differences between the two groups were found for Defensive Responding subscale scores.ConclusionOur study may be the first to highlight the presence of high levels of stress in parents of children affected by migraine without aura.

“…Depression is a medical condition affecting the way mood is controlled by the brain; it affects the way a person thinks, feels and acts. Gentili, Panicucci and Guazzelli (2005) estimates that "by the year 2020 depression will be the second cause of morbidity, following the ischemic heart disease". Cognitive-behavioral therapy has developed over the past five decades, starting with Beck's studies of depressive clients, leading to the elaboration of a cognitive model of depression that focuses on the patients' negative thoughts and cognitive distortions (Rizeanu, 2013).…”

Depressive disorders are a type of mental disorders whose central feature consists of feelings of sadness and emptiness, with somatic manifestations that negatively impact the individual's well-being (DSM-5, 2013). Depression includes symptoms like: feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, loss of interest in daily activity, loss of energy, sleep changes, anger or irritability, weight changes, concentration problems.Depressive disorders include disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, substance/medication-induced depressive disorder, depressive disorder due to another medical condition, other specified depressive disorder, and unspecified depressive disorder (DSM-5, 2013) In a study conducted on a sample of 18 980 subjects from Europe, Ohayon and Schatzberg (2003) concluded that people with depression were found to be five times more likely to suffer from sleep-disordered breathing.Albert Ellis pointed out that, in order to change their negative emotions, people have the power to choose and the ability to identify, dispute and change fundamental irrational beliefs such as: absolutist beliefs regarding oneself, the people around us and the entire world (Dryden, DiGiuseppe & Neenan, 2010). The therapeutic approach which is at the core of this study is based on rational-emotive and behavioural therapy, put forth by AbstractPurpose: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy in the treatment of depression. Materials and methods:We utilized a sample of 63 patients, aged 21 to 60, former compulsive gamblers, who sought psychological intervention for symptoms of depression. They were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory and diagnosed with various levels of depression.Results: Pre-treatment, the mean depression score was mg1= 15.36. After the initial evaluation, the subjects pursued a 14-session cognitive-behavioral therapy plan, after which we reevaluated their depression score. Post-treatment, the sample obtained a mean depression score of mg2= 10.71, which is approximately 30% lower than the pre-intervention score. Conclusion:The results show that the cognitive-behavioral therapy led to a reduction of depressive symptoms among all group members, regardless of their pre-intervention score.
