Abstract
Summary: One hundred and sixteen patients with major depressive disorder were asked for details of headaches during a depressive episode and during a nondepressed period. They experienced a headache rate similar to controls during the nondepressed period, but had an increased headache rate during depression (P <.02). Patients with an increase in depressive headaches were younger, had more somatic complaints, and experienced more hypersomnia than other depressives.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
