Headache has consistently been shown to be associated with depression and anxiety disorders and recent studies have found that adverse childhood events may play a part in this. A study of 18,303 people in 10 different countries found that the number of childhood adversities - for example child abuse, divorce, poverty etc - was associated with adult-onset headaches. Early and current-onset of depression/anxiety disorders were also associated with an increased risk of headaches.
