In a podcast hosted by Florida Supreme Court-certified mediator Matthew Brickman, Rebecca Palmer shares her thoughts on the correlation between divorce and the effect it can have on the psyche post-divorce.

Palmer touches on a new study conducted by Rutgers that has demonstrated a correlation between divorce and later psychological problems.

While it may be difficult to prove definitively if people with preexisting mental health challenges are prone to divorce or if those issues manifest later after the separation, the study demonstrates the need for individuals to be more accepting of neurodivergence in marriage, divorce, family law, and post-marital needs of caring for shared children—while each spouse keeps their mental health front and center.
