Neurodivergent children are twice as likely to experience chronic disabling fatigue in adolescence

New research led by Dr. Lisa Quadt, Research Fellow in Psychiatry at BSMS and Dr. Jessica Eccles, Reader in Brain-Body Medicine at BSMS, highlights a significant link between neurodivergence and chronic fatigue. The study found that increased inflammation in childhood, often resulting from heightened stress levels, may be a contributing factor. This supports previous findings that suggest chronic fatigue can be rooted in inflammatory processes.
