Episode 198: Anxiety and Depression in MS with Dr. Anthony Feinstein


At some point, about 50% of the people living with MS will experience clinical depression. This goes beyond simply feeling sad. Left unchecked, MS-related depression can sometimes lead to tragic consequences.

As it relates to multiple sclerosis, mental health must be de-stigmatized, studied more rigorously, and discussed more often.

Dr. Anthony Feinstein

Returning to the podcast to talk about managing the mood-related symptoms of MS is Dr. Anthony Feinstein, a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto and an expert in the neuropsychiatry of multiple sclerosis.

We're also talking about study results that show how your beliefs about your disease-modifying therapy can determine whether you stay on it.

Dr. Brian Sandroff joins me to share the outcome of a Kessler Foundation study that may lead to a whole new way for people living with MS who are experiencing substantial disability to improve cognition and mobility impairment through rehabilitation exercise.

You'll hear about a research team that may have identified a biomarker for MS progression. And we'll tell you why that can have a huge impact on treating progressive MS.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Episode 197: Everything You Need to Know About MS Relapses with Dr. Michelle Cameron


Some people call them flares, some people call them exacerbations, and some people call them MS attacks. But all those terms refer to the very same thing — an MS relapse. What does a relapse really mean in terms of disease progression? What's the difference between a relapse and a pseudo-relapse? How does pregnancy make you less likely to experience a relapse and then more likely to experience a relapse?

Dr. Michelle Cameron

Dr. Michelle Cameron is joining me to answer these questions and to share some advice on how to best avoid an MS relapse. Dr. Cameron is a neurologist and physical therapist, and an associate professor in the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University.

We're also sharing the details about this Thursday's Pathways to Wellness in MS program being presented by the National MS Society(it's free to register!).

We'll tell you about over $1 million dollars in new progressive MS research grants that were just awarded by the International Progressive MS Alliance.

If you're curious about how well-matched you and your DMT really are, we'll let you know how you can test-drive a new MS Disease-Modifying Therapy Comparison app.

And we're talking about the latest addition to at-home telehealth treatment when it comes to MS rehabilitation.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
