Any long standing disease can lead to depression. But there are so many medicines available to prevent migraine.

Less likely though many migraine pts have comorbid depression. But there is no direct link between them. Few migraine medications like topiramate,flunarizine might be responsible for psychological symptoms.

Yes. Most of the untreated or undertreated migranous headache lead to anxiety and depression. U should get it treated and maintain a headache diary.
