source: Muscular Dystrophy Association
year: 2022
summary/abstract:The start of a new school year can be stressful for the whole family, especially when juggling healthcare appointments, IEP plan meetings, school supply shopping, and assembling a back-to-school wardrobe.

Another study in Frontiers in Physiology found that stress disorders could affect nerve function, which can already be a struggle with some neuromuscular diseases.
