Great...if someone in my extended family were to read that article, they'd be ready to get me the jacket that buttons up in the back, and the Thorazine smoothies and a nice "apartment" at the local mental hospital.

Some of my relatives are the type to believe that MS would cause mental illness. I'm betting it's just a certain percentage...like a certain percentage of MSers will be in a chair, and a certain percentage of MSers will have serious vision problems. It just depends on what parts of the brain gets affected.

Not everyone who has MS is going to end up with a mental illness. I know I have my own weirdness to deal with, but I dont think that I currently have a problem with MS-induced mental illness unless I consider my mother's head injury induced dementia as my problem.

I really hope the mis-information in that article doesnt get advertised too much, I'd really hate for people to think that all of us will turn into slavering lunatics just because we have some neurological weirdness going on.
