An autoimmune, inflammatory, neurodegenerative disease with chronic progression, multiple sclerosis (MS), is the most frequent disease
of productive young adults, which affects more women than men. It is a very treacherous chronic disease that often strikes the attack,
when a man waits at least. MS has an impact on the quality of life; therefore it is necessary to study the changed quality of life due to
illness. Because the MS is incurable disease and the number of patients is increasing, it is necessary to apply to their employment by
economic and social perspective. Isolation of capable patients is even more stressful for them.
