With the right help early on, anxiety can be controlled, managed and even treated before it spirals out of control. Early intervention is critical to also ensure it doesn’t affect your MS management.
If you’re feeling anxious, speak to your neurologist, MS Nurse or GP as soon as possible. Your healthcare team will also be able to help you review your MS management and medications and make any necessary adjustments.
It’s important to know that there’s support and help available. You may want to reach out to a mental health helpline for more information or support, if you don’t feel comfortable disclosing your feelings to family or friends. You can find details for reputable services below.
