Comorbid conditions are said to be conditions that occur at the same time, but independently of each other. Reportedly, the most common comorbid condition with migraine is major depressive disorder or clinical depression. About 47% of migraineurs claimed to experience major depressive disorder, however, doctors state that neither causes the other. Comorbid conditions can have major effects on the treatment of the individual disorders. Now, thyroid diseases (including hypothyroidism) are among the conditions known to be usually comorbid with headaches and migraines. Also, a strong connection has been discovered between hypothyroidism and new daily persistent headache (NDPH) and chronic migraine.
