Therapy’s Tangible Benefits for Autistic Adults with Depression and Anxiety
A study published in *Nature Mental Health* has tracked the trajectories of depression and anxiety symptoms in autistic adults undergoing routine psychological therapy within the UK’s primary care system. The research by Pender et al. provides real-world evidence on how this patient population responds to standard therapeutic interventions, offering a clearer picture of treatment effectiveness and symptom change over time.
Why it might matter to you:
This real-world data on therapeutic outcomes directly informs clinical practice for managing complex neuropsychiatric comorbidities. For a neurologist and professor, it provides evidence to refine patient referrals and supports the integration of mental health considerations into a holistic neurological care model, particularly for neurodivergent patients. The findings also contribute to the evidence base necessary for advocating appropriate resource allocation and specialized training in clinical settings.
