⚡Cluster headache is considered one of the most painful conditions known.

⏰The typical picture is unilateral headache attacks lasting 15 to 180 minutes, associated with cranial autonomic symptoms, parasympathetic hyperactivity and sympathetic hypo-activity.

🌦️Triggers for cluster attacks include alcohol, strong smells, sleep, circadian disruption, and weather changes.

🥵 Cranial autonomic features include ptosis, conjunctival injection, lacrimation, rhinorrhoea, nasal stuffiness, eyelid and facial swelling, aural fullness, facial sweating, and redness.

👬This is one of the few primary headaches that predominantly affects men, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 2.5:1.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event such as violence, abuse, war, disasters, or serious accidents. It may appear immediately or months later.

Symptoms fall into four key areas: intrusive memories or flashbacks, avoidance of reminders, changes in mood and thinking, and heightened arousal such as hypervigilance or sleep disturbance.

PTSD often occurs alongside depression, anxiety, anger, or substance use. Trauma-focused psychological therapies are the most effective treatment.
