Unmasking the Somatic Super Syndrome and its Neuropsychiatric signature.

Join Dr. James Kustow and Robert Rees for a powerful one-hour talk that introduces a systemic and somatic perspective on adult ADHD. While ADHD is commonly viewed through behavioural or neurological lenses, Dr. Kustow invites us to widen our focus to include the body. Drawing on clinical experience and emerging research, he explores how ADHD frequently co-exists with a cluster of physical health conditions—offering a more integrated framework for understanding the condition and its broader impacts.

At the heart of the talk is the “Somatic Super Syndrome” (3S) model, a lens through which to view the overlapping presence of hypermobility syndromes, dysautonomia, and immune hypersensitivities—particularly Mast Cell Activation Disease (MCAD) and autoimmune tendencies. These conditions, often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, appear with surprising frequency in people with ADHD. Dr. Kustow explores why this might be the case and what it means for assessment, treatment, and support.

This recorded talk is ideal for clinicians, coaches, and anyone interested in a more holistic understanding of neurodiversity. It includes a downloadable CPD certificate and is available to watch on demand. Whether you’re new to ADHD or looking to deepen your expertise, this session offers valuable insights into the mind-body connection and opens the door to more compassionate, comprehensive care.
