Migraine is a very common form of headache, and after chronic migraine or chronic tension headache, the drug may develop over-use headache (IAKBA). Both forms of headache can be accompanied by psychiatric diseases. Our purpose in this study is to investigate whether there is a difference between migraine and IAKBA in terms of depression, anxiety and alexity. Material and Method: 25 migraine and 20 IAKBA diagnosed patients were compared statistically by making Beck Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Assessment Scale and Toronto Alchemist Scale. Results: Depression and anxiety values were found higher in the migraine group than in the IAKBA group (p<0.05). In the IAKBA group, the alexithmic characteristic was found higher than the migraine group (p<0.05). The result: The level of depression and anxiety is more in the forefront in migraine patients, while the characteristic characteristic of alexymic is higher in the IAKBA group, and this situation can also be considered a predictable factor for IAKBA.
