Yes to all: Ms can and often does worsen depression and anxiety. It could also be biologically a cause for depression and anxiety. Please get the help you need from your neurologist and your family doctor and see a psychiatrist or psychologist or both if necessary. Try to enjoy the holidays. Best wishes.

Complex: Am not seeing that the diagnosis of MS was ever confirmed. Yes, MS pts do indeed suffer depression, anxiety and euphoria, and some cannot control their emotions, but these are secondary issues, not the primary process in this disease of brain and spinal cord. Discuss with your physician and decide how to proceed.
