Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective sheath covering the nerves, interfering with the communication between the brain and the body. This book explains who gets the disorder and why, and how it affects the body. Diagnosis and current treatment options are discussed, as well as living with the disease. With full-color photos and illustrations, this book offers the latest statistics along with information on new treatments, drugs, and future research.

This book is best for a high school or college library. One sees the rationale for the inclusion of this series in a public library as well, since victims' families will seek answers to their questions. --Ludington Library Reviews, January, 2011

This title provides a thorough overview of multiple sclerosis. It illustrates how multiple sclerosis looks inside the brain with a magnetic resonance imaging scan and the different parts of a myelin sheath that have been damaged. --SWON Libraries, May, 2011

Primary-source quotes personalize the experiences.  A solid addition to the mental-health sections.   -- School Library Journal (October 2001)

Factful and useful books that approach their subjects as puzzlers for which great strides have been made in the last few decades in terms of diagnosis and treatment.   -- School Library Journal (April 2001)

Captioned photos and diagrams illustrate each book and both volumes have source notes, a list of organizations and Web sites, and a bibliography that will be useful for report writers, debaters, and parents of children diagnosed with these disfunctions.   -- Booklist (October 2001)

Overall, the information...is more thorough and accessible than that in many books.  Well-done and intuitively organized.   -- School Library Journal (May 2002)

Volumes explore causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.  New research techniques are described in detail.  Each disorder is fully explained in non-technical terms.   -- School Library Journal (March 2003)
