Meet Dr. Luisa Sanz


Dr. Luisa Sanz is a psychiatrist with over 25 years of experience working mainly with young people. She is immensely passionate about her work and at the root of all she does is the drive to help others through compassion, acceptance, love and respect. 


To understand the significance and intention behind
Mind Yr Life, it’s important to understand Dr. Sanz herself. Her lived experience and growing up with two brothers with Schizophrenia have made her the person and professional that she is today.

Dr. Sanz grew up in Madrid, Spain, and even as a very young person, she always had a strong sense of injustice. She wanted to grow up to be a teacher, like her mother, as she was always an inquisitive person who loved learning and sharing information.


As the 6th sibling of 8, her family was very underprivileged and with constantly busy parents, Luisa felt invisible. “I was one of many and never had a sense of individuality or even felt valued; it got even worse when my eldest brother got ill as this took over our lives” she said...

I BELIEVE... in the bright inner diamond that we ALL have and makes us all PERFECT; do you?

The fascinating comorbid ADHD + ASD... what 50 years ago was deemed as impossible, today is a fact... here we explore what may also become a fact in another 50 years? The purpose of this article is to reflect on the presentation of comorbid ADHD and ASD which is very different to when these two conditions present separately, highlighting the challenges of diagnosing this FASCINATING COMORBIDITY whilst exploring its potential and strength, and learning on the way. I refer to this comorbidity as fascinating as, how symptoms and traits mix, has the potential of resulting on an amazingly successful combination or, on the other hand, leading to a much greater challenge in getting through life. Individuals with the amazing trait combination of this ADHD + ASD comorbidity are likely to have successful careers and never present in Mental Health (MH services whereas those with the more challenging trait combination are more likely to present in MH services due to the comorbidity itself or secondary presentations such as depression or anxiety.
