The neuropsychiatry of multiple sclerosis

Kate Jefferies

Kate Jefferies is a specialist registrar in old age psychiatry at Farnham Road Hospital (Farnham Road, Guildford GU2 7LX, UK. Email: katejefferies{at}tiscali.co.uk). She is training in old age and general adult psychiatry and her special interest is neuropsychiatry.

Multiple sclerosis is the most common disabling neurological illness affecting young and middle-aged adults. Although attention has tended to focus mainly on its neurological manifestations, reports of the presence of neuropsychiatric symptoms date back to the writings of Charcot in 1877. This article details the neuropsychiatric sequelae of multiple sclerosis and the evidence base for available treatments.
