BendyBrain: Dr Jessica Eccles

I am Jessica Eccles PhD (aka BendyBrain), a medical doctor specialising in hypermobility and neurodivergence. I trained in Cambridge and Oxford Universities and am now an Associate Professor of Brain-Body medicine at Brighton and Sussex Medical School in the Department of Clinical Neuroscience.  I am active in national policy and practice relating to neurodivergence, including the Clinical Reference Group of the UK Government Independent ADHD Taskforce.  I chair the RCPSYCH Neurodevelopmental Psychiatry Group.

This channel focuses on our research findings exploring the fascinating connections between hypermobility, neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, Tourette syndrome and more) and asociated mental and physical health problems.  I hope to challenge sterotypes and encourage curiousity. I am hypermobile and  neurodivergent.  

This channel does not replace a consultation with a medical professional and is intended for educational purposes.
