MODEL ANSWER

Autoimmune disorders are diseases that occur due to the abnormal activity of the immune system, which may cause the body to attack itself and damage its tissues. Therefore, the only way to treat these disorders is by reducing the immune system’s activity which can be done with the use of appropriate medication depending on the illness. Several diseases fall in this category, for example, multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis is a potentially disabling ailment because it attacks an individual’s central nervous system. The overactivity of the immune system affects the myelin, which is the shielding sheath covering the nerve fibres responsible for sending signals from the brain to the rest of the body. If it progresses, it tends to cause irreparable damage and deterioration of the affected nerves (Izquierdo, 2017).
