Reports to CE Broker
This course reviews the etiology, epidemiology, and presentation of cognitive and psychological symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS), a disabling autoimmune disorder impacting 400,000 patients in the United States. The psychological symptoms associated with MS can be significant, with roughly half of patients experiencing cognitive dysfunction secondary to the disease, and a point-prevalence rate of 20% for major depressive episodes. Depression, cognitive dysfunction, fatigue, and physical disability all contribute to reduced quality-of-life in patients with MS, and need to be effectively managed by the patient and medical treatment teams. Treatment strategies for these symptoms, including behavioral, pharmacological, and lifestyle interventions are reviewed.
