Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is frequently accompanied by emotional and mood disorders.
  • These disorders can exacerbate during disease progression, negatively impacting patients' quality of life and that of their families.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To offer a comprehensive, current review of mood and emotional disorders linked to MS.
  • Focus on epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, assessment, and therapeutic strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of mood and emotional disorders in multiple sclerosis.
  • Analysis of diagnostic challenges due to symptom overlap between MS and psychiatric conditions.
  • Discussion of the interplay between psychosocial factors, neurological lesions, and emotional disturbances.

Main Results:

  • High prevalence of depression in MS, linked to increased suicide risk, poor treatment adherence, and reduced function.
  • Other common disorders include bipolar disorder, anxiety, emotional blunting, and pseudobulbar affect.
  • Diagnostic and treatment complexities arise from overlapping symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Early identification and management of emotional comorbidities in MS are vital.
  • Effective treatment can potentially reduce disability and mortality.
  • Understanding the interaction between chronic disability's psychosocial effects and brain lesions is key for diagnosis and treatment.
