Chronic Tension-Type: Description

Chronic tension-type headaches may be the result of stress or fatigue, but more than likely, they can be attributed to physical problems, psychological issues, or depression

Chronic tension-type headaches affect both men and women, but women do have a greater incidence of them. This prevalence among women, however, may be due to the fact that women seek medical help and report headaches more frequently than men.

A pattern of chronic tension-type headaches generally begins between the ages of 20 and 40, and every personality type can experience them.
