If you’ve ever felt exhausted by having to explain what MS (or any chronic health condition) is, you’re going to love meeting Dr. Meghan Beier. She’s a psychologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who specializes in MS. Her passion for improving care led her to create Find Empathy, which provides continuing education for mental health professionals on how best to serve patients who live with life-altering illnesses. The aim is to educate therapists about psychological difficulties that are specific to a variety of chronic illnesses, including MS.

In this conversation, we talk about what neurological psychology is, how health conditions and medical symptoms can have psychological impact, how fitness has proven benefits for cognition, and discuss how telemedicine isn’t going away anytime soon!

Dr. Beier has dedicated her professional life to helping our community. The wealth of knowledge she has, and her compassionate nature, means I can’t wait to have her on the podcast again.
