New research is painting a clearer picture of the early signs of multiple sclerosis (MS), showing that people are nearly twice as likely to experience mental illness in the years leading up to the onset of the diseases. The study suggests that psychiatric conditions like anxiety and depression may be part of a prodromal phase of MS -- a set of preliminary symptoms and clues that arise before classic MS symptoms.
New research from the University of British Columbia is painting a clearer picture of the early signs of multiple sclerosis , showing that people are nearly twice as likely to experience mental illness in the years leading up to the onset of the diseases., the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, suggests that psychiatric conditions like anxiety and depression may be part of a prodromal phase of MS -- a set of preliminary symptoms and clues that arise before classic MS symptoms.
Dr. Tremlett and her team have been working to better characterize the early stages of MS with the hopes of facilitating earlier detection and possible intervention. Prodromal periods are well established in other diseases such as Parkinson's, where people experience symptoms such as constipation years before classical motor deficiencies begin.
The study builds on previous work from Dr. Tremlett's lab showing that other symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anemia and pain may also be part of the MS prodrome. This study was supported by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, MS Society of Canada and Michael Smith Health Research BC.Skin Behind the Ears and Between the Toes Can Host a Collection of Unhealthy MicrobesAnibal S Chertcoff, Fardowsa Yusuf, Feng Zhu, Charity Evans, John D.
