Neuropsychiatric features of cluster headaches R. E. Jorge, J. L. Leston, R. G. Robinson (Department of Psychiatry, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City, IA)
Background: This is a case-control study of the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders among patients with cluster headaches. Methods: We have compared a group of 21 patients with episodic cluster headaches (ECH) and a group of 21 patients with tension headaches (TH) carefully matched for age, sex, and educational level. Psychiatric diagnosis was made using a semistructured interview and DSM-IV criteria. Quantitative measures of depression and anxiety were obtained using the Ham-D and the Ham-A. In addition, all subjects received a neuropsychological evaluation that was designed to explore basic memory and executive functions. Results: Of the 21 patients with cluster headaches, 5 (23.8%) met DSM-IV criteria for an anxiety disorder during the year previous to the episode. Panic disorder was diagnosed in 2 patients (9.5%). The remaining 3 patients (14.3%) met criteria for generalized anxiety disorder. Of the 21 patients with tension headaches, 2 (9.5%) met diagnostic criteria for an adjustment disorder with a depressed mood and 1 (4.8%) met criteria for an adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood. Ham-A scores were significantly higher among patients with ECH (Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, P=0.01). ECH patients also showed significantly lower Auditory Verbal Learning Test scores (Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, P=0.004) Conclusions: When compared with a group of patients suffering tension headaches, ECH patients showed a higher frequency of anxiety disorders (panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder) during the year preceding the onset of headaches and significantly greater Ham-A scores during the clinical episode. In addition, patients with ECH appeared to be selectively impaired in a verbal memory measure.

Vegetarian. Really low Ham scores. Bacon and steak scores are suffering as well.
