The MS Society is supporting the 'Depression: Asking the Right Questions' partnership, which is bringing together people and organisations with an interest in depression to help set the priorities for further research.
It is estimated that 50% of people with MS may experience depression at some point in their lives. A new national survey has been launched with the James Lind Alliance to collect questions from people affected by depression, their friends, family, carers and clinicians. These questions will then inform the creation of a 'top ten' list of priorities which will help shape the direction of research into depression, a process which we have already been involved with for MS research.
If you've been affected by depression, whether directly or through someone you're close to, you can have your say by completing this short survey.
Your contribution could help the development of research which improves care and support for people living with depression.
