This time on Multiple sclerosis breaking it down, we’ll be talking about thinking problems in MS. Problems with thinking and memory affect around half of all people with MS. Cognition is the medical term for thinking, and problems with thought and memory are known as cognitive problems. Issues include memory, attention span, planning, decision-making, understanding or concentration.

To explain cognition issues in MS, and some strategies that may help you, we chatted with Professor Roshan das Nair. Helena and Debs also share their experiences with cognition difficulties and what they do to manage them.
