The answer is “no.” It would be wrong to assume that the only reason people experience daily headache is because they are overusing medications. A small group of patients experience a daily headache disorder without over-consumption of medication. In these patients, the existence of “masked” depression or anxiety disorders can create this daily pain cycle. It is vitally important in these instances to treat the underlying mood disturbance if one is to have any success in treating the pain.
