Coping and support

Living with cluster headache can be frightening and difficult. The attacks can seem unbearable and make you feel anxious and depressed. Ultimately, they can affect your relationships, your work and the quality of your life.

Talking to a counselor or therapist might help you cope with the effects of cluster headaches. And joining a headache support group can connect you with others with similar experiences and provide information. Your doctor might be able to recommend a therapist or a support group in your area.
