Does your child struggle to adjust their language to fit the setting? Or perhaps they find idioms, sarcasm, and metaphors confusing? 🤔

Social Communication Disorder often goes misunderstood, but it is a distinct challenge that affects how people use verbal and non-verbal signals to connect. Unlike other conditions, SCD focuses specifically on the pragmatics of language—the "how" and "when" of what we say.

We use applied neuroscience to help the brain navigate these social complexities more naturally.

If winter makes you feel like you're moving through molasses—exhausted, unmotivated, and craving carbs—you're not alone.
Seasonal Affective Disorder affects millions, especially women and younger adults. It's not about "toughing it out" or waiting for better weather. It's about recognizing a legitimate mental health condition that deserves professional support.

When to seek help:
✓ Symptoms last weeks or months
✓ Daily functioning is impaired
✓ You're isolating from loved ones
✓ Changes align with seasonal patterns

Don't self-diagnose or struggle in silence. Early intervention makes all the difference.
