How has your mental health been lately?
Hey everyone!
I wanted to check in to see how everyone’s been doing in terms of mental health. MS impacts much more beyond a person’s physical condition. Whether you are a patient or a caregiver, it’s important to focus on mental health. Here is a great column by Ben on this subject.
How has your mental health been lately? Do you see a therapist regularly? Do you have any other strategies for tending to your mental health that you want to share?

I’d like to add to that by saying, just like multiple sclerosis can make a physical illness bigger, he can do the same with a mental illness. What I mean is a low grade fever that wouldn’t have affected me much 10 years ago is now a showstopper. A seemingly small bout of depression might have made for a down hour or so back then, but ruins my whole week now. It might be that I don’t have the same opportunities to distract myself these days, but I think I can honestly say that my MS makes it worse.
