I don't know, but think the percentage of MSers suffering mental illness (not talking depression or other things), is equal to percentage found in general population. I've worked in long-term (older persons in Mentally Ill facility)mentally ill locked wards and have never met a MSer there. I watched teens and older people become mentally ill and besides not writing well, the person who wrote this article is clueless about many things IMHO. Geez, my 16 year old daughter writes better than that. The editor of my high school newpaper (where I was once active) would never accept such run-on drivel from us. TV and some of the Media really don't know Jack about most things but some people think if it's oin the paper or on TV, it must be true. Where was her editor?
