Show Notes
Dr Jessica Eccles is a neurodevelopmental psychiatrist, researcher, and public communicator whose work bridges brain-body medicine and neurodivergence. She is an Associate Professor in Brain-Body Medicine at Brighton and Sussex Medical School and a consultant psychiatrist with Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, where she co-leads the world’s first Neurodivergent Brain-Body Clinic.
Her research has transformed understanding of the links between neurodivergence, hypermobility, and mental and physical health, earning international recognition, including the 2024 Ehlers-Danlos Society Research Pioneer Award. Her work explores connections between hypermobility, pain, fatigue, emotion regulation, and conditions such as ADHD and autism.
Alongside her clinical and research work, Dr Eccles is a passionate advocate for neurodivergent and hypermobile communities. She chairs the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Neurodevelopmental Psychiatry Special Interest Group and contributes to national initiatives including the UK ADHD Taskforce.
She is widely engaged in public education, regularly appearing across media including the BBC, The Guardian, and The New York Times, and is committed to improving awareness and challenging stereotypes around brain-body health.
