Neurodivergence and Mental Health

Neurodivergent people experience significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression, and burnout — but it can be hard to understand why, and harder still to know what to do about it.

In this talk, Dr Chris Worfolk explores the many reasons neurodivergent people struggle more with mental health: from sensory differences and masking to trauma, burnout, and a healthcare system that wasn't designed for us. He'll also look at what actually helps, both inside and outside the therapy room.

Dr Chris Worfolk is a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society and Principal Psychologist at Leeds Autism Practice. He is himself late-diagnosed. The event will include a talk followed by a Q&A.
