Get the book

Understanding Autoimmune Disease bridges a critical gap in mental health literature. Written for both clinicians and informed patients, it explores the emotional landscape of autoimmune disease with clinical depth and human compassion. From the shock of diagnosis through the long arc of autoimmune illness management, Dr. Nicoletta Skoufalos provides frameworks for understanding how these conditions reshape every dimension of a person's life: their identity, their relationships, their sense of hope, and their connection to their own body.

The groundbreaking book covers the immunology clinicians need to know, evidence-based therapeutic approaches adapted for chronic illness, and real-world case examples that bring the material to life.

Clinician Registry & Patient Referral Network

Connecting trained clinicians with patients seeking knowledgeable care

One of the greatest challenges patients face is finding clinicians who understand immune related psychiatric symptoms. To bridge this gap, we offer a Clinician Registry for providers who complete the certification course.

Being part of the registry includes:

  • A public profile on our directory so patients and caregivers can find trained clinicians
  • Referral traffic from a highly searched public resource used by families, advocates, and care teams
  • Visibility across disciplines, enabling cross specialty collaboration
  • Signals of competency that help patients feel safe, validated, and understood
  • Optional networking or community groups with other registered clinicians

Our registry helps match patients with clinicians who have completed structured training—improving access to informed, compassionate care while supporting clinicians in growing their practices.
