how ridiculous, i hope the hospital ends up better than it sounds

"they seem to enjoy treating their migrain patients as mental cases"

Since when is migrain a mental sickness ? This sounds frightening, especially when you compare it to the movie. Did you ask them why they treat patients that way and why so many psychiatrists and psychologists are there ? I would not have expected this from a migrain clinic

Hope the mystery is solved. At least your making progress.

Some migraines may have a physical cause, like an allergy to something, but I don't see it as a psych problem. I knew a woman who suffered terrible migraines. She was allergic to the best prescription painkillers. The only pain relief she found was from heroin.
She found that acupuncture helped a lot, but the heroin was cheaper. Later on, she found Hatha Yoga helped her get control of them. The incidence rate went from whenever, to twice a month. Your profile says you like Yoga, so get serious about it and do it. I think you should also give acupuncture a try if the clinic can't help.
I think Pranayama would also be a big help. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to learn it from a book. Find a Hindu who's willing to teach you the proper techniques. A video would be next best.
Good luck in the clinic!
