ENXAQUECA E RISCO DE SUICÍDIO: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Migraine, a highly prevalent and debilitating neurological condition worldwide, goes beyond physical impairment and profoundly affects the emotional sphere of patients. Recent studies have shown a significant association between migraine and increased risk of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, especially in cases of migraine with aura. Psychiatric comorbidities, excessive use of abortive medications, and high frequency of migraine attacks exacerbate this vulnerability. This literature review aims to critically analyze current evidence on the relationship between migraine and suicidal behavior, identify specific risk factors, explore possible underlying neurobiological mechanisms, and discuss preventive and therapeutic strategies. Understanding this relationship is essential for clinical practice, broadening the management of migraine beyond pain control by incorporating a comprehensive approach to patients’ mental health.
