Unfortunately, there's a good chance of getting a 'double whammy' of emotional effects from having MS. Firstly, MS itself can have a direct effect on your mood & emotions - depending on the site & the degree of disease damage in the brain, the effects can include: depression, confusion, forgetfulness, emotional lability (excessive and/or inappropriate laughing or crying), problems with concentration. Secondary MS emotional problems come as a result of living with the disease; when a person gets MS it tends to have a knock-on effect on their family, their relationships, their social life, their working life, their financial status, their self-confidence ...... all this whilst dealing with an unpredictable disease & an uncertain future, & whilst quite possibly coping with pain or with the fact that they can no longer physically do the things they might have done in the past to cheer themselves up. Not surprisingly, up to half of people with MS suffer from depression at some point - the surprise is that the figure isn't actually higher.
