\n Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is supporting a call to action from an editorial in the British Journal of Psychiatry, which highlights the importance of identifying conditions such as ADHD, autism and tic disorders in psychiatric populations.\n<\/p>\n
\n Hugo Critchley, a lead author of the editorial and professor of psychiatry at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS), said: “This editorial challenges us as psychiatrists to recognise that neurodivergence is not peripheral to our work \u2013 it is central to it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Conditions like ADHD and autism are common across our caseloads but too often go unrecognised.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The authors argue that by improving awareness, upskilling the workforce and redesigning services, we can deliver more effective, personalised care and better outcomes for patients.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The editorial warns that without proper recognition, patients risk misdiagnosis, inappropriate care and greater chances of crisis or relapse.\n<\/p>\n
\n It calls for core psychiatric training to include neurodevelopmental conditions to improve diagnosis and treatment.\n<\/p>\n
\n Clinicians at Sussex Partnership have contributed to and backed the editorial.\n<\/p>\n
\n Their current work includes piloting an adult ADHD assessment service in primary care with clinical oversight from the Trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is supporting a call to action from an editorial in the British Journal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":578726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[97,259,260],"class_list":["post-578725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-health","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/578726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
