This text provides a survey of the emotional, behavioural and cognitive disorders prevalent among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), including depression, mania, psychosis, pathological laughing and crying, and cognitive dysfunction. For each of the neuropsychiatric disorders associated with MS, clinical guidelines are given for diagnosis and treatment, there is a review of the literature, and case vignettes are incorporated. There are chapters on screening and neuroimaging and a final chapter examines the broader concept of subcortical white matter dementia.
