More Than Strep

“If you see a child with a sudden and dramatic onset of unwanted thoughts, fears, rituals, OCD, and a decline in mental health, consider PANDAS/PANS.”

Thankfully this was put on my radar last year, just before several kiddos came to me with undiagnosed PANDAS. Because of my new awareness, I was able to correctly identify PANDAS and send these kids to a physician who was able to verify the diagnosis and provide the correct course of treatment.
​
Strep or another infection may be triggering the symptoms and distress. Please watch the following video for information about PANDAS.
