During her middle school years, Holly Crowe, MPH, During her middle school years, Holly Crowe, MPH, PhD, an epidemiologist at Mass General Brigham, often had to leave school early because of migraine attacks. Years later, that experience would help inspire her field of research. Today, Dr. Crowe is an epidemiologist studying a question that affects millions of women: Why are people with migraine more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, and how do those relationships change throughout life? Migraine is much more than a headache. Attacks can last for hours or even days and can bring nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound, making it difficult to work, attend school, spend time with loved ones, or participate in everyday activities. Because migraine is more common among women, Dr. Crowe is particularly interested in what happens during hormonal transitions such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Using data from large, long-term studies, Dr. Crowe examines how headaches, mood, and hormonal changes interact over time. Her research seeks to understand why some women with migraine may be more vulnerable to anxiety and depression, identify who may be most at risk, and ultimately help improve care and quality of life for those living with these conditions. 🎻 And when she's not doing research, Dr. Crowe can often be found playing Irish fiddle at sessions and workshops across Boston's vibrant traditional Irish music scene. Follow along for a day in Dr. Crowe's life and meet the epidemiologist behind the research.
