Misdiagnosis after misdiagnosis. Disbelief from doctors and mental health professionals after you explain your symptoms. Being shuffled from one doctor to the next with no help in sight. Millions of neurodiverse women struggle everyday to get support from their healthcare and mental health professionals that actually improves their lives. So many of us are not getting our health needs met, and are falling into more anxiety and depression because of it. What could society do better to help us? Today, I am honored to present interviews with Lauren Melissa @autienelle, Dominica @the_ADHD_dynosaur, and Meg @arfidawareness to discuss their experiences getting help from medical and mental health systems for themselves and their families, what worked and what was a disaster, and what could be done to help neurodiverse people. - Hit the subscribe button to make sure you are notified when there’s a new episode: https://mailchi.mp/66e2de2c4b59/signuphere - Check Neurodiverging out on Patreon, and support this podcast: https://www.patreon.com/neurodiverging - See Show Notes for this episode here: https://neurodiverging.com/take-better-care-neurodiverse-women/ - Find Neurodiverging on Bookshop here: https://bookshop.org/shop/neurodiverging Learn more about your ad choices.
