Core Mission Beyond Dopamine Justice Alliance
Dopamine Justice Alliance addresses the overlooked links between dopamine agonist side effects, vascular dementia (especially frontal lobe impacts), and co-existing conditions like bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, OCD, schizophrenia, addictions, depression, and anxiety. The site will highlight family dynamics—such as incompatibilities between OCD and ADHD traits—and advocate for tailored therapies to reduce conflict. Early SEN diagnosis and lifelong support in schools benefits not only those affected but also unaffected family members, countering gaps in awareness among parents, particularly from non-UK backgrounds.
Societal Patterns and Research Needs
Greater academic focus is essential on how neurological disorders parallel social issues like homelessness, prison populations, poor academic performance, unemployment, teenage pregnancies, addictions, family breakdowns, domestic violence, antisocial behaviour, and crime in deprived areas. Environmental factors, including internet isolation, social media, and cultural reserve in the UK, exacerbate symptoms, demanding a generational cultural shift. Comparative studies—drawing from Vietnam's stronger family networks and lower rates of these issues despite similar neurology prevalence—can reveal effective management strategies.
Dementia Diagnosis Reforms
Stricter protocols are needed: mandatory investigation of reversible causes, medication side effects (accounting for reduced kidney function), and family interviews. No single practitioner should diagnose; follow-up assessments during infection-free periods are crucial to avoid misusing delirium data. These changes honour cases like my late father's, preventing harm from impulse control disorders.

This area examines how dopamine agonists, vascular dementia of the frontal lobes, and conditions such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, OCD, schizophrenia, addiction, depression and anxiety overlap and interact. It focuses on how these intersections can blur diagnoses, shape behaviour and decision‑making, and why a more integrated neurological understanding is urgently needed.

This area explores what happens when different neurological traits coexist within the same family, for example OCD‑type traits alongside ADHD‑type traits. It looks at how these combinations can generate conflict, misunderstanding and emotional harm, and highlights the need for tailored support for both the person with the diagnosis and the relatives around them. When (attempted) suicide occurs, family members should be screened for neurological disorders.

This area addresses how early recognition of neurological and learning differences, appropriate SEN provision, and consistent support beyond school can change life outcomes. It also speaks to the damage caused when mainstream education is unsuitable or when needs such as dyslexia, autism or ADHD are missed, minimised or pushed into “low sets” instead of being properly supported.

This area considers how social isolation, internet and social media use, housing and community breakdown, and the reserved nature of UK culture can intensify neurological symptoms. It contrasts this with cultures that have stronger family and community networks, asking what can be learned to help people continue functioning in everyday life despite enduring neurological conditions.

This area calls for more rigorous standards when diagnosing dementia, especially in the presence of complex medication regimes and physical health issues. It emphasises the need to investigate reversible causes, consider kidney function and drug side effects, gather detailed family histories, involve more than one clinician, and avoid relying on assessments done during delirium or active infection.

This area sets out a space for people directly or indirectly harmed by dopamine agonist impulse control disorders and related failures in care to find emotional support and solidarity. It also outlines the longer‑term justice agenda, including collective action, public awareness, future writing projects and reinvestment in local mental health initiatives, so that individual trauma can lead to systemic change.
