mental health

hi everyone can MS cause depression ? I know that the distress of having the illness itself and the uncertainty of it can create anxiety and depression , but can the demyelination itself cause the onset? just wondering if there is a difference between having a relapse or an actual mental health condition thanks

I was also told that it can cause it and that it’s a symptom. The doctors at the hospital even prescribed me an antidepressant right when I was diagnosed with MS which I don’t like them though. They don’t work well for me. I don’t know much more than that, it’s just what I’ve been told and read on different websites.

thank you for the reply. it's a tough relapse- i usually get through them by being so optimistic and it's really hard now
