PUBLIC ENTRY 9-27-2023

I am an male of 42 years with adult ADHD, social anxiety challenges, and a self-recovered alcoholic now coping with what I believe is Adjustment Disorder (see DSM-5).

From my understanding, treatments for Adjustment Disorder, along with other common mental health conditions, do not include or highlight the benefits of dance or specifically dance and movement based therapies as a tool to support recovery and returning to balance.

My hope is we create a future where treatment regimes for mental health conditions in the United States not only include dance and dance therapy as options -but highlights them as mediums for long term health and well-being across the world.
