From the supplier: Persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) who experience emotional or social problems tend to use their disease as a means to become increasingly helpless. A study has shown MS patients with social difficulties, severe physical impairment, and unemployment are more likely to display non- physiological helplessness than MS patients without these factors. Neurological nurses can intervene to lessen the tendency toward learned helplessness.
