#Migraine is a primary headache disorder, in most cases episodic, with symptoms that differ from person to person and from attack to attack. It can lead to significant disability and high personal, family, occupational, societal, and economic burden. Despite its widespread and debilitating nature, migraine is still misunderstood, ignored, and stigmatised. Many governments, seeking to constrain health care costs, do not acknowledge the substantial burden of migraine on society. In partnership with AbbVie, this session will highlight the impact of migraine on women within society. The speakers will explore current research related to women’s migraine and will look at how current challenges can be adopted into broader public health strategies.

Somatic disorders (e.g., type 2 diabetes) and brain disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disorder) often co-occur. This session aims to explore the link between mental and non-mental disorders and how to better address it in clinical practice and medical education.   The event is hosted by Barbara Franke (PRIME coordinator) and MARINA KOUSSATHANA (Project Advisor). In session 1, Andreas Reif and Henrik Larsson discuss the latest EU research bridging brain and somatic disorders. In session 2, representatives of Alzheimer Europe (Angela Bradshaw), International Diabetes Federation Europe (Jessica Maria Nastos), and ADHD-Europe (Nina Hovén) discuss patient perspectives on the need to integrate brain and body care. Finally in session 3, clinical guideline recommendations will be presented by Alexander Häge, and the need for guidelines and medical education will be discussed with the panel (J.J. Sandra Kooij, Joao Costa & Geert Poelmans).   More information can be found on https://lnkd.in/eRdYbC_Y #BrainHealth #Diabetes #Obesity #Health #Guidelines #Innovation #Education #Research
