Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental and physical wellbeing of patients with motor neuron disease and other neuromuscular disease by Srestha Mazumder, Srestha Mazumder, Antonia S. Carroll, Hannah C. Timmins, Hannah C. Timmins, Matthew C. Kiernan, Matthew C. Kiernan, Matthew C. Kiernan, Colin J. Mahoney

“…In further support, those with non-MND conditions reported greater concern for their mental well-being and experienced significantly more loneliness than MND patients (p = 0.005). Moderately to highly impaired non-MND patients experienced higher levels of loneliness (p = 0.024), anxiety (p = 0.006), and depression (p &lt; 0.001) compared to similarly impaired MND patients.ConclusionThese results suggest that despite having a poorer prognosis, MND patients demonstrate resilience, possibly reflecting increased social and allied health support. …”
