Migraine is a legitimate neurological disease, yet many people hesitate to seek care due to stigma. In this episode, Lindsay Weitzel, PhD, talks with Susan Hutchinson, MD, about new data from the OVERCOME study, revealing how stigma affects migraine care, mental health, and quality of life. Learn why people delay treatment, the risks of chronification, and how we can work to change perceptions of migraine.
