Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to review the question of depression in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Morbidity and methodological difficulties in the investigation of depressive states in MS are analyzed. Prevalence of depression in MS in previous series is critically compared. The role of chronic invalidity and topography of demyelinating lesions in the development of depression are considered. We also review the treatment of depressive states and future guidelines for investigation of this topic.
