Dealing with chronic health issues can often feel like a neverending battle, especially when it seems like there’s no clear path to improvement.
In this episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Megan Anna Neff, two AuDHD mental health professionals, discuss their personal battles with chronic health conditions. They provide an insightful analysis using the biopsychosocial model, share their experiences, and introduce this new series on chronic health issues for neurodivergent individuals.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Gain practical insights into managing chronic health struggles through the biopsychosocial model, which considers the interconnected biological, psychological, and social factors affecting well-being.
- Discover the power of setting concrete, manageable goals to tackle issues such as sleep, depression, and chronic pain, and learn strategies to cultivate self-efficacy and align your actions with your values.
- Learn how diet, exercise, and behavioral health perspectives play crucial roles in managing complex medical conditions, and hear about the hosts' personal plans to focus on movement and diet for improved health.
As you embark on your own journey to better health, remember that you don’t have to do it alone.

Reflect on how you can take actionable steps, no matter how small, towards living a more value-aligned life.
