2026 Migraine & Headache Awareness Month
This June, the American Migraine Foundation observed Migraine and Headache Awareness Month with a theme that hits at the heart of what it means to live with migraine:
I AM INVISIBLE.
Migraine itself may be invisible, but the people living with it are not. They show up every day, push through, and carry something most people never see. This month, we’re changing that.
Migraine itself may be invisible, but the people living with it are not. They show up every day, push through, and carry something most people never see.
All month long, we sat down with leading migraine specialists for expert-led conversations, covering everything from diagnosis and treatment to the toll migraine takes on relationships, work, and mental health. Every session is now available to watch on demand below.
Each week, we shined a spotlight on a different dimension of the migraine experience through expert-led conversations with leading specialists.
