Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition where thick, sticky mucus builds up in organs. This leads to breathing problems and allows bacteria to grow inside the lungs. It also affects the pancreas, which makes it harder for the body to break down food and get important nutrients. New treatments help people with cystic fibrosis live longer, fuller lives.

Mental health conditions influence a person’s thoughts, mood and feelings, making it challenging to maintain good relationships and do well at work or school. Treatment depends on the person and getting better can be a slow process. Medicines and counseling can improve symptoms and help a person lead a better and fuller life. Some medicines can be injected into the body and last for weeks to months. For conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, these injectable medicines make it easier to stay committed to your therapy.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the brain and spinal cord. Damage to a part of nerve cells called the myelin sheath makes it harder for the brain to send messages to the rest of the body. Symptoms include trouble with vision, tingling, numbness, and changes in coordination, memory and thinking. People with MS usually have times when symptoms are more active, and other times when they are less bothersome. Unfortunately, there is no cure for MS. Using medicines with physical and occupational therapy can help to control symptoms.

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition. Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis, and shows up as areas of thick, red skin with white scales. Plaque psoriasis can be on any part of the body, often in the elbows, knees, scalp, back and face.

Another form of psoriasis is called psoriatic arthritis, which can can cause joint swelling and stiffness around the body, such as the fingers and toes, back, wrists or knees. In most people, psoriasis affects the skin before the joints, but it is hard to predict how one may be affected by one condition or the other.

Many medicines can reduce symptoms and prevent further damage — including medicines used on the skin, taken by mouth or injected into the body.
