A member asked:

Can ms cause memory problems and mood swings?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You bet it could: About 65 % of ms patients experience some cognitive issues, and emotional lability and inappropriate behavior can be an issue. Symptomatic medications can help immensely, and memory enhancing agents, and a drug called nuedexta can be of great value.

Dr Pappas and 4 doctors agreed
