Depression and Migraines

"I need help to deal with my condition. I don't mean with medicines, I mean how to deal with depression and how to cope with it every day." A member on MyMigraineTeam

On MyMigraineTeam, the social network and online support group for those living with migraines, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Depression is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.

Here are some conversations about depression:

• The hardest part of this now for me is depression and isolation.
• As bad as my migraines or depression /anxiety get I can always find something to be grateful for.
• I've had a migraine every day since before Christmas. It's depressing me so much and came here looking for some advice and maybe support from other migraine sufferers.
• I'm afraid I'll lose my job before I find something that brings me any relief. To say I'm depressed would be an understatement.

Here are some question and answer threads about depression:

• How do you cope with being in pain 24/7?
• Do you suffer from depression/anxiety along with your migraines?
• What letter would you write to your friends and family, expressing your feelings about life with migraines?
