Summary
Migraines affect over one billion people worldwide and rank as the second leading cause of disability globally — yet fewer than 5% of chronic sufferers get adequate care. So why are they so misunderstood? Dr. Kaveh Hoda sits down with Dr. Andrew Charles (neurologist and migraine researcher at UCLA) and Jesse Thorn (broadcaster and lifelong migraine sufferer) to talk about what migraines really are, why stigma keeps so many people from getting help, and the exciting new treatments that are finally changing the game. Please share with a migraine sufferer in your life. Enjoyed the episode?
