Persons with migraine had a much higher prevalence of ever attempting suicide than those without migraine, a recent study found. The study, a nationally representative analysis of the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey – Mental Health, identified the gender-specific prevalence of suicide attempts among those with migraine and examined the factors associated with suicide attempts among migraineurs. Among the details:
- Of 21,744 respondents, 2223 had migraine.
- Those with migraine had a much higher prevalence of ever attempting suicide vs those without migraine (men: 7.5% vs 1.9%; women: 9.3% vs 2.7%).
- Among migraineurs, the odds of suicide attempts were higher among poorer respondents, those in chronic pain and those with a history of childhood adversities, substance dependence and/or mental illness.
