RealTalk Episode 24: MS & Depression? There’s An App For That!


Depression affects over one million people around the world who are living with MS. And when you fail to treat depression, every other aspect of life seems to get worse.  My guest on this week's podcast is Dr. Athena Robinson, the Chief Clinical Officer at Woebot Labs, and we're talking about Woebot — a breakthrough app that lives on your smartphone and has been proven to be effective in treating depression.

We're also talking about a robotic arm brace that restores the use of paralyzed limbs due to MS, ALS, and stroke. And you'll hear all about 2 new MS research studies taking place at the University at Buffalo. We'll even tell you where you can sign up to test-drive a smartphone app that's been developed to help your neurologist fine-tune your MS treatment and better personalize your MS symptom management.
