Here’s What Happened When a Doctor Set Out to Design Healthcare For Neurodivergent Brains
Om avsnittet
When she started her medical practice, Dr. Mel Houser quickly realized there was a lack of healthcare that addressed the needs of neurodivergent people. She set out to challenge traditional norms to make care accessible. Along with her success came something she never expected—a new way of growing a community built around more than just medicine.
From chronic illness to employment support and beyond, that kind of healthcare exists and in this episode you’ll learn about the resources that will guide you toward getting it.
Dr. Houser, author of A Failure of Imagination: How the Healthcare System Fails Neurodivergent People—And What We're Doing Instead, tells how you can be empowered to recognize how your body feels and trust your intuition about your health. She provides the tools for you and for your healthcare provider to understand each other’s language. She explains how involving her community of patients defines how she practices neuroinclusive medicine.
In a world of growing isolation, Dr Houser reveals the serious health implications of loneliness and offers a solution.
It’s time for a change and this is where you can make a difference in your own life. Find out how in this conversation with Dr. Melissa Houser.
