Neuropsychiatric aspects of multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of central nervous system in humans and ademyelinating disorder of the brain and spinal cord that has been described in theliterature for more than 150 years. The French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot hasestablished the criteria for diagnosis of MS in the middle of the 19th century. Now, hisoriginal diagnostic triad is known not to be specific and, in fact, over the years, numerousother diagnostic criteria were developed, all of which had a lack of specificity forthe illness, thus including many false positives.
