Early Signs of Multiple Sclerosis: The Link to Depression and Anxiety
Psychiatric issues, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, may be early indicators of multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study from the University of British Columbia. These symptoms, along with sleep disorders, fatigue, anemia, and pain, may precede the onset of MS by years. While they do not directly predict the disease, their frequent appearance in the years before MS symptoms appear adds to experts' understanding of the condition. Early diagnosis and treatment, along with healthy lifestyle choices, can help manage the disease and slow its progression.
