She has been suffering from migraine since 1994–95, when she was in class 8th. Pain always used to start from left side of occiput and then it would radiate to the root of nose. It used to remain for 3-4 days, then shift to the right side. The whole episode used to last for 8-9 days. The frequency of getting bouts was once a month before menses.

MENTAL ASSESSMENT
