Stop passing off migraine as headache

Migraines, a neurological disorder causing severe headaches and other debilitating symptoms, are often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. The global incidence of migraines has increased significantly, making it a major public health concern. Migraines require early evaluation and diagnosis by a neurologist due to the complex interplay between genes and the environment. Lack of awareness is a challenge, but raising awareness can lead to tailored treatment plans and improved quality of life. Management includes lifestyle changes, preventive medications, and acute therapies.
