School Counselor Awareness of Dysautonomia
Dr. Dana Brindisi had a great conversation with Dr. Rachel Vitale, who is a school counselor in Ohio.
Dr. Vitale is working to increase awareness of dysautonomia among her students and coworkers. She has dysautonomia herself and has witnessed students misdiagnosed with anxiety or stress when they actually have dysautonomia.
Dr. Brindisi and Dr. Vitale discussed what to look for when a student is experiencing symptoms that may be dysautonomia, why many students are mislabled as anxious or stressed, how to increase education and awareness of dysautonomia, and how to advocate for and support students with dysautonomia.
Thank you, Dr. Vitale, for the work you are doing!
