Can bp depression cause migraines

I used to get migraines all the time and after a long hard road of trial and error and no relief, my Dr and I found something that works. I slipped into a depression about three weeks ago and have been trying to battle it. The deeper the depression gets the more migraine type headaches I get. So I was just wondering if there could be a connection.

Yes it do, And it sucks. I have them too. I saw a neurologist and he really helped me out with them, but when I have a depressed episode, I'll get them.
He actually said half of his patients have mood disorders. Definitely connected.

Joy!!! So no matter what I do I'm going to fight both?? I'm going back to my Dr in a little while, about 11 hours, and I'll talk to him and see if he can help any. There is nothing worse than fighting both chemical and physical and trying to survive. Thanks for the info, at least I have an idea where to start.

    Hey yall. I took a hiatus from ds for a couple of weeks or more. I thought I was going to just leave ds because it's been so slow. I have been journaling in a notebook but since I don't carry it with me, it's been inconvenient.  So I apologize if I caused anyone to worry about my absence but I'm back and will be updating my journals again as I have time :)
