Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiple sclerosis (MS) remains one of the most prevalent chronic neurological disorders affecting young adults worldwide. Beyond the well-known sensorimotor challenges, MS often presents with a range of neuropsychiatric symptoms, including cognitive impairments, mood disturbances, and fatigue. These symptoms, which can sometimes appear as the initial manifestation of the disease, significantly affect both daily functioning and overall well-being. The impact of MS on quality of life (QoL) is profound, as these neuropsychiatric issues often become intertwined with the physical aspects of the disease.
Following the success of the first edition of this Special Issue, which featured 8 papers, we continue to explore the intricate relationship between cognitive and neuropsychiatric conditions in MS. This second edition invites original research articles, reviews, and case studies that advance our understanding of the impact of these conditions on mental health, QoL, and patient care. The aim is to further contribute to the growing body of knowledge and encourage interdisciplinary approaches that can lead to more effective management strategies for patients with MS facing these complex challenges.
