Headache & Migraine Support Group

Headache and Migraine are the most common neurological conditions in the UAE.

Headache disorders are not only extremely painful but also harming the daily life quality tremendously. Headaches are the 3^rd most disabling disease worldwide, according to the WHO (World Health Organization). Headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system and they can affect anyone regardless of age, race, and gender. Sadly “Worldwide, a minority of people with headache disorders are diagnosed appropriately by a health-care provider. Headache has been underestimated, under-recognized and under-treated throughout the world.” (WHO)

What’s the benefit of a support group?

Besides the professional psychological treatment, people benefit from a support group in many ways:

• Find people with similar problems who understand your situation
• Find friends and a network of support, getting out of isolation
• Gain practical advices from people with experience (who is the best doctor for your disease, experience with medication or other treatments, life style adjustments etc.)
• Gain knowledge about the condition
• Gain power to control the disease better
• Gain coping skills
• Thus improving the disease itself

I am not sure…

Understandable. To speak in front of other people about private issues is not easy. But why you don’t try it just once?
