Episode 236: How MS Affects Mind, Mood, and Memory with Dr. Anthony Feinstein

If you're living with MS, there's a good chance that, at some point, you're going to deal with depression, cognitive issues, or both of these common MS symptoms. We're taking a deep dive into how these symptoms can impact your everyday life at home and at work with the author of Mind, Mood, and Memory: The Neurobehavioral Consequences of Multiple Sclerosis, Dr. Anthony Feinstein. We're also highlighting some of the MS research that was presented two weeks ago at the ACTRIMS Forum, the annual meeting of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis.  You'll hear how artificial intelligence is being used to predict how someone will respond to different disease-modifying therapies. You'll learn about the efficacy of stem cell therapy in treating aggressive MS. And we'll share the results of a research project designed to calculate the economic burden of MS in the United States.
