Addressing Psychosocial Needs in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Learn about the psychosocial implications of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Dive into its link with major depressive disorders and cognitive dysfunctions. Master the latest assessment strategies and evidence-based treatments, ensuring holistic care for MS patients.
About this course
This course reviews the etiology, epidemiology, and presentation of cognitive and psychological symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS), a disabling autoimmune disorder impacting 400,000 patients in the United States. The psychological symptoms associated with MS can be significant, with roughly half of patients experiencing cognitive dysfunction secondary to the disease, and a point-prevalence rate of 20% for major depressive episodes. Depression, cognitive dysfunction, fatigue, and physical disability all contribute to reduced quality-of-life in patients with MS, and need to be effectively managed by the patient and medical treatment teams. Treatment strategies for these symptoms, including behavioral, pharmacological, and lifestyle interventions are reviewed.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
