The Psychological Burden of Neuromuscular Diseases: A Narrative Review of Anxiety, Depression, Coping, and Quality of Life
Overview
This narrative review examines the psychological burden of neuromuscular diseases, focusing on anxiety, depression, coping strategies, and quality of life. It synthesizes literature indicating that psychological symptoms are prevalent and influenced by disease severity and social support, while noting that adaptive coping may mitigate distress. The resource highlights the inconsistency of psychological care integration in current management practices.
