An established Park Ridge, Illinois entrepreneur, Bruce Adreani guides Norwood Builders as president and focuses on Chicago area residential developments. Involved in the Park Ridge community, Bruce Adreani maintains strong charitable support of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
As explained by a clinical neuropsychologist associated with the Multiple Sclerosis Society, one common issue among those living with MS, beyond their primary symptoms, is mood swings. This often has to do with daytime fatigue, as well as MS relapse triggers such as sensory overload and extremes of temperature.
MS lesions may also work to disrupt communication between various areas of the brain and lead to uncontrollable laughter or crying outbursts. In other cases psychological, as well as neurological, changes may be associated with mood swings, including negative thought patterns not specific to people with MS.
With nearly 50 percent of those with MS suffering from depression and anxiety, basic steps to resolve the issue include a healthy diet, improved sleep, exercise, and supportive social interactions. It is important to keep in mind that stresses which many would find manageable can trigger a cascading effect in those with MS, and should be avoided if at all possible.
