Do migraines count as a neurologocal disorder, especially when experienced with paresthesia and aura?

Question

I get those kinds, and I just wanted to make sure whether or not it was actuallly as *neurological disorder* < sounds scary :S

Answer 1

Yes. In the International Classification of Diseases, it falls under the category of Diseases of the Nervous System and Sense Organs.

That doesn't mean it's a serious or life threatening disease. Myopia or Near Sightedness falls under the same category, for example.

Answer 2

Migraines are considered neurological. A neurologist is the doctor of whom treats migraines.
