A lot of my early life was spent in physiotherapy, focusing on the connection between body and mind.
This got me curious about how often mental health and cerebral palsy are researched together.

He asked me if I had anything I wanted to share with the medical student in the room.
I told him to talk about my brain damage after I left.

There needs to be some validation work on that.
