Abstract
The relationship between migraine and psychopathology has been discuss ed far more often than it has been systematically studied. Twentieth-c entury investigators have frequently described the obsessional, rigid, angry personality postulated to characterize migraine sufferers. More recent population-based studies have demonstrated associations betwee n migraine and depression and migraine and panic disorder. This articl e discusses the relationship of migraine and personality and migraine and psychopathology.
