About 60 to 65 percent of people living with MS experience some degree of change in cognition, and more than half of people living with MS experience mood changes at some point in the course of their disease. Our understanding of the role that cognition and mood play in a person’s experience of multiple sclerosis has expanded dramatically in recent years.
Join us on Oct. 29, to learn why and how people with MS experience changes in mood and cognitive functioning, and the latest information on how these symptoms can be addressed—from physical activity, medications and counseling to self-management strategies.
