Depression & MS
Posted by pae on November 3rd, 2008
Depression & MSÂ with William J. Lorman, PhD, MSN, PsyNP Livengrin Foundation and Diane Walker, RN, MS Griswold Special Care
Depression is one of the most disabling symptoms of MS, occurring more frequently among people living with the disease than in the general population or in people with other chronic conditions. About 50% of people living with MS experience depression at some point after diagnosis. But despite its reported prevalence, depression is not diagnosed in more than half of people living with MS, and when it is diagnosed, it is frequently not treated adequately. The speakers will discuss the different forms of depression, identify warning signs for caregivers and people living with MS and describe approaches that can successfully treat this disabling condition.
