Quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that predominantly affects young adults of working age. It is characterized by a wide spectrum of neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms, and significantly reduces the quality of life of patients. Quality of life should be part of comprehensive health care to determine what dimensions of the quality of life are impaired in an individual patient and what are the factors that negatively affect them.
