Depression affects over one million people around the world who are living with MS. And when you fail to treat depression, every other aspect of life seems to get worse - and that can include your MS symptoms.

My guest on this week's podcast is Dr. Athena Robinson, the Chief Clinical Officer at Woebot Labs, and we're talking about Woebot -- a breakthrough app that lives on your smartphone and has been proven to be effective in treating depression.

We're also talking about a robotic arm brace that restores the use of paralyzed limbs due to MS, ALS, and stroke. And you'll hear all about 2 new MS research studies taking place at the University at Buffalo. We'll even tell you where you can sign up to test-drive a smartphone app that's been developed to help your neurologist fine-tune your MS treatment and better personalize your MS symptom management.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS?
