Anyone can experience depression, regardless of their age or gender. When you have MS, (Multiple Sclerosis) it is very critical.
Undoubtedly, some days will be worse than others if you have MS. It’s absolutely OK to occasionally feel sad or furious. However, if you feel as though all the joy has been permanently stolen from your life, you may be depressed and might benefit from treatment.
More MS patients than either healthy people or those with other chronic diseases are prone to experiencing clinical depression. Up to half of MS patients may experience depression at some point during their lifespan, according to estimates.
The good news is that depression is not something you have to endure. Treatment options are available that work. How much enjoyment you find today—and how much optimism you have for tomorrow—can be greatly affected by knowing the symptoms of depression and getting assistance if necessary.
Following an MS diagnosis, you may experience a period of sorrow because you may face demanding tasks that may be taxing on your emotions. But clinical depression goes beyond regular sadness or grief.

Losing interest in once-fun activities, becoming agitated or restless, feeling useless, ineffective, or incapable, being unable to eat or eating excessively, being unable to sleep, sleeping excessively, frequently considering suicide or death, being perpetually tired, and experiencing memory or attention problems
Depression and multiple sclerosis stress associated with MS may psychologically lead to depression in some people. MS physically alters the substance that safeguards nerve fibers, including those in your brain. Depression may result from brain injury to areas of the brain that control mood.
Additionally, modifications to your brain may collaborate with modifications to your immunological and endocrine (hormonal) systems to increase your chance of developing depression if you have MS.
