Ep 19: Coping positively with MS - feat Dr. Megan

In addition to its physical symptoms, MS may have profound
emotional consequences. Lack of knowledge about the disease adds
to the anxieties commonly experienced by people who are newly
diagnosed.


Anxiety disorders are three times more common in MS than in the
general population. Anxiety has been linked to decreased social
interaction, increased risk of excessive alcohol use, increased
levels of pain and may even impact cognitive skills such as how
fast your brain processes information.

Specialist advises on how to cope with the diagnosis of chronic
illness like MS.
