Episode 160: The Emotional Impact of the Pandemic on People Living with Progressive MS with Dr. Anthony Feinstein

Of all the people living with MS, you might assume that people living with progressive MS have experienced the highest levels of anxiety and depression related to the threat of COVID-19. A research team found themselves at the right place at the right time -- conducting a different progressive MS study. They quickly pivoted to investigate the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people living with progressive MS. My guest is Dr. Anthony Feinstein, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto and a neuropsychiatrist. He is also the principal investigator of the CogEx study, and he's sharing the newly published results of his team's work. We're also talking about the importance of your vote in the upcoming U.S. election, and we'll help you check your voter registration and even register to vote. The National MS Society's Ambassadors Ball is happening on September 30. This year it's virtual and it's free. We'll tell you how you can attend. You'll hear the details of a study that revealed some sobering truths about the financial toxicity of MS. And we'll let you know how you can participate in the MS Society's survey of the economic impact of MS. We'll also give you a heads-up about how the slowdown in U.S. mail delivery may impact the delivery of your MS disease-modifying therapies. And we're talking about a study from Australia that demonstrates how engaging with credible health resources (Um...hello!) often leads to adopting a healthy lifestyle. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
