Jayne Rachael is an advocate who has spent over twenty years working in social justice, and now works on behalf of homeless youth and survivors of human trafficking. Jayne has been researching and writing about maladaptive daydreaming disorder (MDD). People with MDD create imaginary fantasy worlds with complex characters and plots and often prefer that world to reality. Jayne suffered from MD from childhood until the age of 26. After overcoming it, she then became one of the world’s first professional researchers on the topic, co-authoring several peer-reviewed published papers and a piece about her MDD experiences in the Atlantic.com. As a result of her writing, she continues to hear from people from around the world seeking help for themselves or their children regarding MDD.
