Medscape (10/30, Anderson) reports that new research presented at the 44th Child Neurology Society (CNS) Annual Meeting indicates that children and adolescents who suffer from migraines are three times more likely than those without headaches to have “a mood disorder, such as depression, and almost three times more likely to have other neurologic conditions, such as epilepsy.” The study included 9,014 youngsters between the ages of eight and 21 from the Philadelphia Neuro-developmental Cohort.
