Neurodiversity is central to everything we do at our practice. Why? Because your neurotype impacts important things like:
Likelihood of Mental Health Conditions:
-
How probable it is for you to experience a mental health condition.
Comorbidity of Mental Health Conditions:
-
Likelihood of experiencing multiple mental health conditions simultaneously.
Susceptibility to Specific Mental Health Conditions:
-
The type of mental health conditions you are most vulnerable to.
Response to Evidence-Based Treatment:
-
How much benefit you are likely to derive from typical, evidence-based treatment.
Tailoring Approaches for Real Benefit:
-
What approaches we need to take to give you real benefit.
Most research and information on mental health conditions, diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols have been based on one type of brain only: the typical brain.
New studies have found that people with ADHD and Autistic neurotypes have had the highest needs in mental health settings all this time, and yet, have gained the least benefit from them [4].
We care about that, big time.
More specifically, we care about the links that are being found between neurodivergence, eating disorders and trauma.
