abstract = {AbstractIntroduction In addition to physical and cognitive
symptoms, patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have an
increased riskof experiencing mental health problems.Methods
This narrative review provides an overview of the appearance
and epidemiology of affective symptoms in MS suchas
depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, euphoria, and
pseudobulbar affect. Furthermore, the association between
affectivesymptoms and quality of life and the currently used
diagnostic instruments for assessing these symptoms are
consideredwhereby relevant studies published between 2009
and 2021 were included in the review.Results Patients with
mild and moderate disability more frequently reported severe
problems with depression and anxietythan severe mobility
problems. Apart from the occurrence of depression, little is
known about the association of other affectivesymptoms such
as anxiety, bipolar disorder, euphoria, and pseudobulbar
affect and subsyndromal symptoms, which failto meet the
diagnostic criteria but are nevertheless a significant
source of distress. Although there are a few
recommendationsin the research to perform routine screenings
for diagnosable affective disorders, a standardized
diagnostic procedureto assess subsyndromal symptoms is still
lacking. As the applied measurements are diverse and show
low accuracy to detectthese symptoms, patients who
experience affective symptoms are less likely to be
identified.Discussion In addition to the consideration of
definite psychiatric diagnoses, there is an unmet need for a
common definitionand assessment of disease-related affective
symptoms in MS. Future studies should focus on the
improvement andstandardization of a common diagnostic
procedure for subsyndromal affective symptoms in MS to
enable integrated andoptimal care for patients.Keywords
