Whilst the vast majority of headaches are minor ailments, some
patients develop chronic symptoms that have psychiatric dimensions.
These symptoms can be immensely challenging to manage and can have a
serious impact on the patient's quality of life. The relationship
between headache and psychiatric disease is often rationalized as
cause and effect; however, the interplay between the two is complex.
Management of each of the co-morbid disorders affects the other one in
positive and/or negative ways. The Neuropsychiatry of Headache details
the current concepts of various headache conditions and the
psychiatric syndromes; topics covered include migraine, mood
disorders, medication overuse and personality disorders. Headache
specialists, neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists and
neuropsychologists will find this an invaluable resource for
understanding and co-managing these conditions.
