Cause #3: Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a condition where the insulating covers of nerve cells known as myelin are damaged. This results in the disruption of communication between nervous systems leading to psychiatric, physical, and mental issues. Examples include blindness, double vision, muscle weakness, coordination issues, and more.
Between episodes of attacks, the symptoms may be completely absent. Although unclear, the cause of multiple sclerosis is thought to be due to the failure of myelin-producing cells or destruction by the immune system. It is thought to be due to environmental and genetic factors.
