Dr. Poe's Los Angeles Headache Blog

Headaches have been linked with psychological disorders, and sometimes that is not the proper diagnosis. When all else fails we tend to blame the unknown, the easy answer like "its just stress ", "its all in your head", "it can't be that bad", "it must be a full moon", and on and on. We all have heard this type of diagnosis from the best friend to Aunt Jenny and even from doctors. So what came first? The chicken or the egg? The Headache or the Crazy. While we cannot rule out the psychological component, years of pain can and will affect ones well being.

Many of my colleagues will not treat people with TMJ/TMD because they are "crazy"

Our experience has continually supported that when the pain is gone, so is the "crazy".
Next time you run into someone that seems a little "Crazy", stop and ask yourself, maybe they just have a headache?
