More than migraines
不只是偏头痛
If you get migraine headaches, you have a higher risk of also having one of several other health conditions. Or, you might be at greater risk for developing another condition in the future. Migraines have been tied to concerns ranging from depression to asthma to heart disease.
如果你偏头痛，那么你患其它健康疾病的风险就会更高。亦或者，将来你患有其它疾病的风险会更高。偏头痛与多种疾病紧密相关，从抑郁症到哮喘再到心脏病，不一而足。
That can make treating migraines more difficult; what works for one person might not work for another. But if you do happen to have migraines and another condition, you might actually have a treatment benefit: "You [may be able to] make two things better with one drug," Dr. Lipton says. Keep an eye out for signs and symptoms of these other conditions.
这会使治疗偏头痛更加困难；对这个人有用的治疗方法可能并不适用于另一个人。但如果你又有偏头痛又有其它症状，那你可能真的能从治疗中获益："虽然你可能只吃一种药，但却能治好两种病，"利普顿医生说道。一定要注意其它疾病的症状和迹象哦！
Depression
抑郁
If you have "episodic" migraines (those that occur once in a while), you have double the risk of depression than someone without any migraines. If you have chronic migraines (15 or more days a month), your risk doubles again, says Dr. Lipton, also a professor and vice chair of neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
如果你患有"偶发性"偏头痛（偶尔偏头痛），那相比那些没有偏头痛的人来说，你患抑郁症的风险是他们的两倍。如果你患有慢性偏头痛（每个月会偏头痛15天或以上），你患抑郁症的风险会再增加一倍，利普顿医生说道，他同时还是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院的教授及神经学副主席。
While it's possible that people with migraines become depressed because of the pain, the depression can also come first. This suggests the two have something in common-genes or neurology or both. "The prevailing belief is that there's some shared underlying predisposition to both disorders, and either one can come first," says Dr. Lipton.
虽然患有偏头痛的人可能是因为疼痛而抑郁，但也有可能是先抑郁而后偏头痛。这说明两者之间有共通点--基因或神经学或两者兼而有之。"人们的普通看法是，这两种疾病有着共同的潜在倾向，任何一种疾病都有可能首先出现。"
Some antidepressant drugs, notably amitriptyline, can actually treat migraines. Amitriptyline affects levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which raises the possibility that serotonin also plays a role in migraines.
有些抗抑郁的药物，特别是阿米替林，真的能治疗偏头痛。阿米替林能影响大脑化学物质血清素的水平，因此血清素在治疗偏头痛的过程中功不可没也是极有可能的。
Anxiety
焦虑
People with chronic migraines are even more likely to have an anxiety disorder than they are depression: Around half of people with migraines also have anxiety, according to the American Migraine Foundation.
慢性偏头痛患者比抑郁症患者更有可能焦虑。据美国偏头痛基金会表示，一半左右的偏头痛患者患有焦虑。
Like with depression, the anxiety or the migraines can come first, says Teshamae Monteith, MD, director of the headache program and assistant professor of clinical neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "Patients that have anxiety in life are more likely to develop migraines, and vice versa."
和抑郁症一样，焦虑或偏头痛都有可能首先发生，迈阿密大学米勒医学院临床神经病学助理教授及头痛项目主任Teshamae Monteith医学博士说道。"生活中患有焦虑症的患者更有可能患有偏头痛，反之亦然。"
Sometimes one treatment (often an antidepressant) works for both conditions; other times, people need separate treatments-medications for migraines and behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders. It's important to find an anxiety treatment that works.
有时候一种治疗方式（通常是抗抑郁药）能治疗两种疾病；其它时候，人们需要不同的治疗方式--吃药缓解偏头痛、行为治疗治疗焦虑症。找到治疗焦虑的有效方法十分重要。
