In May 2023, the PDA Society launched the ‘Being Understood’ survey to help us gather up to date information about what life is like for the PDA community. PDA people (age 17 years or over) and parents, carers and partners of PDA people were invited to take part and share their lived experience of PDA. 921 people responded to our survey, and mental health is one of the key themes emerging from our analysis of responses. This briefing provides an overview of what survey participants told us about mental health.
