FAQ: Psychotherapy or Counseling for People Newly Diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
An MS diagnosis raises many questions – including which type of support is right for you at this stage. Here you will find answers to the most common questions about counseling, and the difference from psychotherapy.
Counseling is a powerful resource supporting people with the emotional impact of an MS diagnosis.
Difference from Psychotherapy:
Counseling may be helpful for people in emotionally challenging life situations, such as receiving an MS diagnosis
Psychotherapy may be helpful when clinically significant mental health symptoms or disorders are present.
Psychotherapy is recommended if a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety disorder, or adjustment disorder has been diagnosed.
If your goal is to cope with the diagnosis, strengthen your resources, and create a fulfilling life with MS, counseling with someone who understands MS may be a helpful way to navigate this new chapter of your life.
Important Information
