A Book About Nervous System Regulation
Mentor: Dr. Negar Elmieh
| You have most likely heard of the phrase “nervous system regulation” but what does it really mean, and why does it matter? My graphic novel explores the link between nervous system dysregulation and various mental health conditions. Making sense of the neurophysiological changes that take place in response to stress and or trauma, is crucial when addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Understanding what is going on within our own bodies and minds, can ease the confusion and stigma surrounding these complex conditions. This work is intended to educate and empower those suffering from dysregulation and poor mental health. |
