The surprising ways that ADHD and headaches are connected—and what it may mean for recovery
—don’t help. The headache doesn’t go away, or it goes away but just keeps coming back, far too often. Of course, you then take your loved one to the doctor, to make sure they don’t have any bad stuff in their head—no tumors, aneurysms, meningitis, sinusitis or any other kind of “itis.” The doctor tries to figure out what is causing the headache, of course, but surprisingly often, even terrible headaches do not have causes that we can see.
Many people in this situation get MRI scans to try to figure out the problem, but scans don’t detect migraines. They only show that the headache is not caused by other problems. Because we don’t have any tools to show that a headache is a migraine, it’s a frustrating situation. Someone you love says they feel awful, but migraines can’t be measured, seen, or independently documented. Everyone involved gets frustrated, and sometimes suspicious.
There are some interesting findings in the few studies that have been published, however. One is thatis involved in migraines as well as in ADHD. Many people know that ADHD involves the dopaminergic pathways of the brain. Fewer people know that migraine symptoms can be provoked by the stimulation of dopamine receptors, and that some drugs that are active on dopamine receptors are effective migraine treatments.
Moreover, the two conditions commonly overlap: Migraine seems to be a risk factor for ADHD, and ADHD seems to be a risk factor for migraines. To put it another way, people with migraines seem to have a higher-than-average incidence of ADHD, and people with ADHD seem to have a higher-than-average incidence of migraines. This holds true in both kids and adults.
