Naomi is a scientist who brings rare translational insight into both the biological and systemic mechanisms driving serious mental illness (SMI) relapse, shaped by having grown up as a young carer. Having supported her mother living with schizoaffective disorder, Naomi was compelled to research answers to her mother's illness beyond what mainstream psychiatry could provide.
Now having formalised her own early scientific observations, Naomi is pioneering a new scientific framework which re-frames schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as neuroenergetic disorders. This opens potential pathways for advancing precision tools in psychiatry that are designed to prevent acute emergencies, reduce iatrogenic harm, and enable remission.
