Partly: Characterizing migraine as purely psychiatric represents an older view of medicine that separates body and mind. While true that there are specific physical or structural causes of migraine, many are a result of emotionally-driven physical responses. Understanding this interplay may help you better address potential triggers if no specifically structural abnormalities have been noted on MRI or EEG
