Addressing the specialized needs of younger adults with multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic, variable, and often disabling disease of the central nervous system, presents a myriad of challenges to people battling the disease and to their family. The diagnosis of MS usually comes when men and women are in their 20s, 30s, and 40s-a time of life when they are completing their education, embarking on their careers, and establishing families. No one can predict at the time of diagnosis the severity, the course, or the progression that the disease will take.
