14: Mental Health Symptoms Explained: it's more than just the DSM
Understanding Neurodivergence, Diagnosis & Identity
What even is a diagnosis, and who gets to decide?
In this Research Segment of The Neurodivergent Report, we unpack the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), explore how symptoms show up differently for different people, and highlight why identity, culture, and community matter so deeply in this conversation.
Curious what's inside?
📚 Brief history and evolution of the DSM
💥 Outline of the categories and symptoms it includes
🤓 Dive into the intersection of mental health and identity politics (literally my favorite part!)
Whether you're a clinician, a neurodivergent adult, or someone navigating your own mental health journey, this episode offers perspective, compassion, and context.
However you're able to engage, thank you for being here!
With love, Sarah 💜
