Depression and trauma are not signs of weakness but deeply intertwined disruptions in the brain’s stress and emotion circuits, shaping thoughts, feelings, and even the body.

ADHD is not a broken brain but a survival signal—an adaptation to early stress, disconnection, and societal pressures that children carry in their bodies.
