In this episode, we introduce TSC-Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders (TAND), a common but often overlooked aspect of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. TAND affects how people think, feel, behave, and interact, and can be just as impactful as the physical features of TSC. We’ll explore what TAND means, the wide range of challenges it can bring—such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and learning difficulties—and why early recognition and support are so important for families and caregivers. Whether you are new to TSC or seeking to better understand the emotional and behavioral side, this episode offers a clear and compassionate starting point.
