Multiple Sclerosis and Psychological Intervention
Multiple Sclerosis, commonly shortened to MS, is an autoimmune disorder that affects the brain and spinal cord, causes multiple problems including visual impairments, weakening of muscles, numb or prickling sensations, worsening of balance and coordination, and even memory problems (Multiple Sclerosis).
