FUMS: Giving Multiple Sclerosis The FingerFUMS 117 - Mind, Mood, and Memory in Multiple Sclerosis w/ Dr. Anthony FeinsteinMS is often described as an invisible disability.

And these symptoms are just as common as the outward ones. In fact, as you'll hear, these may be even more common, with 50% of all people with MS having at least one clinically significant episode of depression. 2022-10-1826 min
