Abstract

A patient who presented with depressive and hysterical symptoms of several years' duration and who proved to have multiple sclerosis is presented. Two further cases whose initial symptoms of dissociation and major depression were prodromes of multiple sclerosis are also presented. A discussion of the factors leading to the correct diagnosis in these cases and reference to relevant literature on psychiatric presentations of multiple sclerosis are presented to illustrate the need for psychiatrists' awareness of multiple sclerosis as a causative factor in patients with a wide variety of psychiatric syndromes.
