Research Summary
A nationwide study published in Cephalalgia explored the prevalence of comorbid depression or anxiety among migraine patients aged ten and older in Sweden from 2015 to 2023. Researchers found that 36% of the 372,926 migraine patients also suffered from depression or anxiety. The study revealed a higher prevalence of comorbidity in more deprived areas, with a prevalence ratio of 1.18. Additionally, 32% of migraine patients took sick leave for over fourteen days, a figure that rose to 51% for those with comorbid conditions. These findings highlight the importance of addressing depression and anxiety in migraine care, especially in deprived areas.
