A significant number of people with multiple sclerosis experience pathological laughing and weeping. This article presents two perspectives on these symptoms. First, the neurological literature is reviewed. Then, the patient's perspective is described in an essay written by a man who lives with pathological laughing and weeping, and his evaluations of the apparent costs and surprising benefits of these symptoms. Finally, psychological theories are discussed which link these two perspectives.
相当数量的多发性硬化症患者会出现病理性哭笑。本文从两个角度探讨了这些症状。首先，我们回顾了神经科学文献。然后，通过一位患有病理性哭笑的患者撰写的文章，描述了患者的视角，以及他对这些症状明显的代价和意外好处的评价。最后，我们讨论了将这两个视角联系起来的心理理论。
