[Psychological and psychopathological assessment of the patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis].

Management of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) implies the participation of many health care professionals. The needs and goals of the patients cannot be limited to functional factors and should be considered in their full psychological, social and familial settings. Thus, much of the care for patients with ALS must focus on symptom relief, comfort and psychological support in order to improve their quality of life (QOL). Studies have demonstrated the significant role of psychological, existential and supportive factors in determining QOL in these patients. This work deals with psychological assessment in patients with ALS and reported studies within this population. Psychological assessment may vary and its methodology depends on the goals. Most frequently, psychological assessment implies depression and anxiety, coping strategies or quality of life.
