2. MS Symptoms

Hello Everyone!

Just as a quick backstory, I’ve struggled with my mental health since I was in high school, BUT I do feel that my mental health has experienced more fluctuations since the onset of my multiple sclerosis. I do understand that certain mental health conditions may come about as a result of receiving a diagnosis; however, that is not the case for me. I appear to experience depressive signs and symptoms every week at this point, and I was wondering if others with an MS diagnosis have encountered something like this before? It almost feels as if the damage sustained by the condition itself is affecting the course of my mental health.

If you have noticed this connection, what have you mentioned to your neurologist and/or primary care practitioner? What coping methods have you used successfully, especially when it comes to work performance?

Please let me know your thoughts on this! Thank you so much for reading, everyone!
