Can depression and anxiety be the early signs of multiple sclerosis?

Researchers from the University of British Columbia suggest in a new study that they have identified what may be an early index of multiple sclerosis (MS) years before its symptoms appear: psychiatric issues, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenicy.

The study authors noted that the use of health care, including psychiatric hearings, recipes and hospitalizations, was higher for people in the administrative group that eventually held the MS. Their frequency, compared with controls, grew each year until MS symptoms appeared. These findings were not observed in the clinical group.

This study suggested that sleep disorders, fatigue, anemia, and pain can be structural symptoms. Produral periods have been identified for other diseases, including Parkinson's disease, with which constipation often precedes Parkinson's symptoms for years.

Diagnosis, progress, and management of multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects elements of the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and optical nerves.

The disease also damages the bodies of neurons placed in the gray substance of the brain. As the MS progresses, the cerbral cortex, the outer layer of the brain, shrinks. That's called the Cortical Atrophy, writes Medical News Today, broadcasts the Klan Kosova.tv.

MS is rarely fatal, although it may be the cause of complications, such as the difficulties in swallowing or bladder infections.
