Maladaptive Daydreamer with Jayne Rachael

I was patient X-the first patient to be described in a journal as struggling to limit my fantasy worlds. I knew my fantasy worlds weren't real, but I was troubled by the time they took up and found it exhausting keeping up with reality. Doctors  had never heard of anything like it before! I couldn't find anyone like me-despite spending years looking. I later worked with Dr. Eli Somer, who coined the term maladaptive daydreaming and is the world's leading researcher on MD. I’m hoping this channel can help show that those of us who have experienced MD need to be taken seriously.  Today there are many amazing sites dedicated to MD.  However, few feature professional researchers and community members working together.   I will interview  both researchers and community members, while also discussing issues like parenting and dating with MD.  I would love to feature many of the creative people who struggle with Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder on any issue you want to hear about.
