Sponsor's own description

Multiple Sclerosis (MS), causing damage to myelin sheath and axons; It is a chronic disease with diffuse demyelinating lesion of the Central Nervous System (CNS) that often affects young adults, progresses with attacks and remissions, and may bring about functional limitation, disability or decrease in quality of life. The fact that Multiple Sclerosis is chronic and irreversible, the uncertainty and destructiveness of the disease process affect individuals physically over time, but it can also cause many negative symptoms from a mental perspective. Studies have shown that MS disease; anxiety, depression, loss of life purpose, intense hopelessness and suicide. Life purpose has been defined as struggling to achieve one's goals and creating meaning against existential neurosis. Having a life purpose increases the subjective well-being, life satisfaction and hope level of individuals. According to the Turkish Language Association, hope, which is defined as "the feeling of trust arising from hope" and which indicates the feeling of having positive expectations for the future, positively affects mental health by giving people the feeling that they can cope with negative experiences that they may encounter in the future. Hopelessness, which is the opposite of hope, is a feeling that causes mental problems such as depression and suicide as well as negatively affecting the mental health of the individual and is a part of these clinical pictures. Setting a life purpose has positive effects on hope. While a purposeful life increases the level of hope in people, it reduces hopelessness and causes the person to live a more meaningful life. The decrease or loss of hope and the purpose of life can cause significant problems for people such as depression, addiction or suicide may occur in people who have lost their life purpose and hope. Positive psychotherapy (PPT), one of the psychosocial-based intervention methods, is a therapy method with a humanistic approach, the theoretical foundations of which were established by Pesesschkian in 1970. There are three basic principles of therapy: hope, balance and consultation. In Positive Psychotherapy, the symptoms and ailments in the person; It is positively reinterpreted, emphasizing real talents.
