In this episode Michelle and Monique explore two of the most common mental health conditions: depression and anxiety. We unpack what separates normal sadness and worry from clinical levels of depression and anxiety and what the ‘purpose’ of these emotional states are. We discuss the overlap of depression and anxiety in neurodivergence, including how common it is, and what factors contribute to depression and anxiety in neurodivergence. Finally, we talk solutions. Including how to support good mental health functioning long term, and what you can do in the moment.   Contact us at [email protected], or visit our website: www.ndwomanpod.com   Email us your questions for our Q&A episode by November 7th!   Visit our websites to attend upcoming client and professional development webinars:   Michelle's website: https://www.michellelivock.com/ Monique's website: http://moniquemitchelson.com.au/   We are on Patreon!
