No Link Between Stress and MS in Women, According to University of Bergen Study
Having a stressful home or work environment doesn't make a person more likely to develop multiple sclerosis, hints a large new study.
Previous research has suggested that in people who already have the chronic disease -- which affects the brain and spinal cord -- stressful events make flare-ups more likely. In the new study, the authors looked at whether stress raised a woman's risk of getting the disease, and couldn't find a link.
