Abstract

This article shows the results of examination of the patients in the early stages of multiple sclerosis, and with disease progression. We conducted a study using the psychodiagnostic scale Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for the detection of depression and anxiety. It is shown that emotional disturbances in multiple sclerosis are formed at both the initial stages of the disease, and during its progression. Symptomatic subclinical anxiety and depression symptoms were characteristic of the early stages of multiple sclerosis. With increasing severity of multiple sclerosis anxiety indicators are reduced, while the phenomenon of depression is significantly increased. The findings show that the direction of psychiatric experts should be involved in treatment and diagnostic process in patients with multiple sclerosis.
