About this book

Neurodiversity and Mental Health presents an evidenced-based and theoretically informed guide on effective, impactful strategies for collaborative advancement in the area of neurodiversity and mental health in terms of health care services and other social and political institutions.

Moving beyond generic approaches and assumptions about neurodivergence the contributors demonstrate strategic priorities that optimise outcomes for co-occurring mental health challenges and neurodivergence. The book synthesises the prevailing ideas, sets the cultural and scientific context and provides a useful resource for individuals and services to signpost necessary changes. Drawing together the international literature on co-occurring mental illness and neurodivergence, it pinpoints exemplars of best practice and provides a roadmap for further research and service innovation.

Neurodiversity and Mental Health will be essential reading for any practitioner, student, or scholar seeking to understand how mental health challenges and neurodiversity co-occur, and how to ensure optimal outcomes for patients.
