Goal: Stress-type headache (GTBA) is the most common primary headache, and in this study we aimed at examining the levels of anxiety and depression in GTBA-defined patients, the level of stress they perceive, eating attitudes and quality of sleep and the possible relationships between them. The study included 43 patients and 43 healthy control groups. The participants were applied a sociodemographic and clinical data form, the detected stress scale, the Beck Depression scale, the Beck Anxiety scale, the Eating Attitude Test (YTT), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PUKI). The findings: The patient group’s ASÖ (p<0.001), BDÖ (p<0.001), BAÖ (p<0.001), YTT (p=0.041) and PUKI (p<0.001) points were significantly higher than the control group. A significant correlation in the positive direction with PUKI, ASÖ, BDÖ, BAÖ and the number of attacks, a significant correlation in the positive direction with PUKI and ASÖ, BDÖ, BAÖ and the number of attacks, a significant correlation in the positive direction with ASÖ and BDÖ, BAÖ and the number of attacks. The number of attacks per year (β=.084, p=0.0151) was the YTT score. The result: Patients’ anxiety, depression, stress levels perceived were significantly higher than the control group, their eating attitudes and sleep quality were significantly worse. The headaches of the patients experienced the number of attacks of headaches were anticipating their eating attitudes. We believe that patients can turn to unhealthy eating behaviors to cope with pain and that identifying accompanying psychiatric diseases in these patients can shape the clinical course, prognosis and treatment strategies of headache.
