DARIEN,
Conn., May 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CEFALY
Technology, maker of the innovative CEFALY migraine treatment
device, is launching a new education campaign to help people
understand the migraine-depression link.
Migraine is a complex neurological disorder that is commonly
characterized by episodes of intense headache pain plus other
symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and
sound. Depression is a serious mental disorder marked by persistent
feelings of sadness, irritability, hopelessness, fatigue, and other
symptoms.
The migraine-depression connection is bidirectional; having one
condition gives you a higher risk of also having the other.
According to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America,
If you have depression, you are 3.4 times more likely to develop
migraine. If you live with migraine, you are 5.8 times more likely
to develop depression.
CEFALY is hosting a free webinar May 28,
2024, at 12 p.m. ET, in which
licensed professional counselor Cara
Scruggs will discuss the many links between migraine and
depression. She will also review the wide range of treatment
options for depression and migraine. Scruggs is a patient advocate,
clinical consultant, and public speaker who has honed her clinical
expertise through mental health work in school systems, inpatient
hospitals, outpatient services, and private practice.
Register to attend the webinar here.
"Migraine and clinical depression are both common conditions,
yet many people who live with both feel isolated and disconnected,"
said Jen Trainor-McDermott, CEO of
CEFALY Technology. "As part of our CEFALY Cares initiative, we're
reaching out to those people to tell them that they're not alone.
We're here to support their treatment journey, so they can feel
better and get back to life."
