    Do you suffer from migraines?

    Childhood abuse is more common in women with migraine who suffer depression than in women with migraine alone, according to a new study. The association between migraine and depression is well established, but the mechanism is uncertain. The study found women with migraine who had major depression were twice as likely as those with migraine alone to report being sexually abused as a child. If the abuse continued past age 12, the women with migraine were five times more likely to report depression.
