Depression and mood disorders can bring your entire everyday life to a standstill. That’s why I’m dedicating this article to negative changes in the psyche. You will find out what triggers there are, when they occur, how they can manifest themselves, what support options are available and what you can do yourself. Every second person with MS experiences at least one depressive phase. It’s good if you know in advance what you can do in such a case. Because there are plenty of options. And depression is very treatable.

- Question to you
Good first points of contact are your family doctor, your neurologist, your local MS patient organization and depression support associations.
On the website of Mental Health America you can do the worldwide recognized 10 question depression test. The New Zealand depression website also offers another test on anxiety disorders to find out what your problem is. These are just two examples. Feel free to use another local service to find out if you need help or if this is not/not yet the case. If in doubt, ask for help rather than putting off the problem for too long.
If the self-test confirms that you have depression, contact your neurologist, GP, psychiatrist or psychosomatic specialist as soon as possible.
