Are you someone who is living with a diagnosis of Autism?
Do you think you may have Autism?
Are you a family member, partner or friend of someone who has Autism?
In the latest episode of ' I Have Issues,' I discuss the issue of Autism.
There can be a lot of misunderstanding, confusion and misinformation around Autism, leading to people struggling to make sense of what is happening and how to get help.
In this episode I'm joined again by Dr Giovanni Giaroli, Consultant Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatrist. Dr Giaroli is the founder and medical director of the renowned Giaroli Centre on Harley Street in London. He is a medical Doctor specialising in Autism across the lifespan (from childhood to adulthood), plus other mental health conditions. Dr Giaroli's deep expertise has lead him to practice as a visiting consultant for various adolescent and adult units (outpatient and inpatient) at the prestigious The Priory Hospital North London, The Priory Hospital Roehampton, and the Nightingale Hospital Marylebone, London.
He is also a corresponding member of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) and has published in International Journals on Psychopharmacology in children and adults and has chaired and presented at many international conferences on Autism.
We discuss together Autism as two mental health professionals (a psychologist and a psychiatrist) who treat this condition.
We explore how Autism develops, what happens in an Autistic brain, how it is assessed and treated.
This episode is essential listening for anyone who is living with Autism or who thinks they may have it. It is also important information for family members, partners or friends of people who have Autism.I'm an adolescent and adult chartered psychologist for the past two decades.

Living with mental health difficulties can sometimes cause the person to become hopeless and feel that life is just too hard to live.
This can leave the person vulnerable to having suicidal thoughts, which can change into plans and attempts.
As a psychologist, this is something that I regularly help my patients deal with.
In this episode I speak with Tanya Marwaha, she is a young person that pioneered youth mental health awareness during the pandemic from her bedroom.
Tanya has struggled with her mental health from a young age after developing long-term disabilities, Fibromyalgia and Ehlers -Danlos Syndrome.
Sadly Tanya's mental health difficulties caused her to have suicidal thoughts which led to her having suicide attempts.
Tanya now uses her story as a young female in the South Asian community, to break down the stigma around mental health, raising awareness of the cultural sensitivities around such topics. She is a Living Experience TED x speaker and is part of the Baton of Hope UK, the UK's largest suicide prevention imitative.
Please join me as a I have a heartfelt and open conversation with Tanya. I appreciate that suicide can be a sensitive subject, but it's a subject that needs to be talked about, given how tragic the consequences can be. As ever, this podcast is all about hope and my conversation with Tanya is to provide hope and inspiration for people who are struggling with their mental health,I'm an adolescent and adult chartered psychologist for the past two decades.
