Taking On Depression Talk

by Rena Sherwood

Man, if this doesn't give you a headache and depression, nothing willGreetings, Gentle Dealing With Headaches Readers:

If you enjoy this blog, then I ask that you take a peek at Depression Talk, which is also part of the 451 Press blog network. I been given the official nod to take over that blog as of today (11 August 2008). The previous blogger, Amanda, had done a lovely job with the blog, but for some reason (I don’t know what reason — don’t ask me) decided to leave the blog in November of 2007. I do not know if she will eventually be co-blogging with me or if she has left the blogosphere entirely.

Why Mention Depression Talk Here?

One of the reasons I applied for Depression Talk is that a lot of people who have chronic headaches or migraines also has clinical depression (also known as major depression). Not everybody does, of course, but there is often what’s called “a strong link of co-morbidity” between migraines and depression. I don’t beleive in the myth of a “migraine personality”, whereby anyone with chronic headaches or migraines also are doomed to have a mental disorder.

Another reason I’m mentioning the depression blog here is that one of the family of medications used to treat migraines and chronic headaches as abortive medications are anti-depressants (usually Prozac, Zoloft or Paxil). If you can’t find the anti-depressant information you are looking for in this blog, odds are you will it on Deprtession Talk. Remember also to look at Drugs.com for any information about side effects or warnings.

Am I Leaving?

Sorry, no. I currently have no plans to leave Dealing with Headaches. I am going to see if I can spruce it up a bit. Hopefully, the two blogs I’m doing for 451 Press now will compliment each other. Well, and get me some more money, anyway.
