According to the Multiple Sclerosis Trust, there are an estimated 130,000 people in the UK currently diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis (MS). As a disease of the central nervous system the condition causes a wide variety of symptoms which affect the day-to-day lives of those living with the illness; often having a detrimental affect on a person’s mental health and general wellbeing. A recent survey carried out by the MS Trust found that of over 2,000 people living with MS, 56% felt that their condition impacted their mental health.
MS Awareness Week 2023 runs from 24th to 30th April. This year, the two main MS charities in the UK, the MS Trust and the MS Society, have teamed up with five other MS charities to focus on raising awareness of the impact MS has on mental and emotional wellbeing.
