dc.description.abstractPurpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of headache in psychiatry clinics. Method: Three hundred and seventy two consecutive patients aged between 18 and 82 (Mean: 36.4±13.2) years were interviewed with a semi-structured interview form. All patients were asked whether they had headache or not. If they answered 'yes, the differential diagnosis of headache was made. Findings: Two-hundred and fifty- two patients (67.7%) did not complain any kind of headache. Migraine (13.7%, n=51) and tension type headaches (12.6%, n=47) were the most commonly seen headaches in psychiatry outpatient clinics. The frequency of migraine in subjects with anxiety disorder was higher than that in subjects with other psychiatric conditions including major depression. The frequency of tension type headache was higher in subjects with anxiety disorder in comparison to other psychiatric disorders, too. We found a statistically significant positive relationship between anxiety disorder or depression, and headache disorders (p<0.00). The tension type or chronic daily headache was seen at later ages but migraine in younger ages (p<0.00). The prevalence of migraine was similar in psychiatry clinics and in the general population of Turkey previously reported. The similar frequency of headache in psychiatry clinics is probably due to a comorbidity with psychiatric diseases. Discussion and Conclusion: We concluded that it was important to ask standard questions about headache in the course of the anamnesis in patients with major depression and anxiety disorder.en_US
