摘要:A cross-sectional retrospective study was done in the ‘Headache clinic' of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) and Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) comprising a sample of eighty patients with migraine. There were 64(80%), female and 16 male (20%). Among them 19(23.75%) had psychiatric disorder as co-morbidity. In accordance with DSM-IV, the commonest psychiatric illness was major depressive disorder (36.84%). The others were panic disorder (21.05%), obsessive compulsive disorders (15.78%) and dysthymic disorder (15.78%). Considering these findings and observation, it so appears that a substantial psychiatric morbidity is prevalent among the sufferers of migraine and it warrants early recognition and proper assessment with the initiation of an integrated treatment modality. doi: 10.3329/taj.v21i2.3787 TAJ 2008; 21(2): 108-111
