People living with neurological conditions may grieve changed abilities, missed milestones, friendships that slip, and a “before” life. Some live with anticipatory grief for a family member whose condition may progress. Others face bereavement and complex, ongoing waves of loss.

Don’t assume people are ok, change can be a kind of grief. Loss can take many forms and grief isn’t straightforward.

Many people affected by neurological conditions work hard to hide pain, fatigue, sensory overload, anxiety, or fear - especially in public. This is called “masking” and can hide significant need and delay in support.

Don’t assume people are ok just because they look or seem “ok”. Ask.

Neurological conditions can co-occur with anxiety, depression, behavioural change, attentional challenges, sleep disturbances, and more. It can often be hard for people to voice their feelings.

Don’t assume children and young people are ok, they may be coping with more than you know.

This Brain Awareness Week we are raising awareness of the impact of neurological conditions on the mental health of children, young people, and their families. 🧠❤️

At least 1 in 6 people live with a neurological condition, including children and young people. Millions of people have loved ones who are affected by these complex and often life-changing conditions. The mental health impact of these conditions can often be hidden or misunderstood.
