Moreover, there is some evidence indicating that psychiatric comorbidity is a negative prognostic indicator in children and adults with headache. Thus, the identification and treatment of psychiatric illness is necessary, beginning at an early age. In this study we provide an overview of the current literature on comorbidity of psychiatric illness and the most common headache disorders<span>: migraine; tension type; and “chronic daily headache” (ie, chronic migraine, chronic tension type). We briefly discuss the assessment of psychiatric illness in medical (nonpsychiatric) settings and provide pharmacologic and behavioral treatment recommendations.
