Does your child have rages, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), tics, aggressive behavior, prolonged tantrums and/or anxiety? Is your child exhibiting sudden behavioral changes or a developmental regression?
Did they have good health but now seem to go from one physical or mental health issue to another especially after colds and viruses or stressors?
Your child may have PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) is an umbrella term which includes diagnoses such as PANDAS, PITANDS, and Autoimmune Encephalitis–all of which describe a condition marked by concerning psychiatric and physical symptoms that often appear suddenly.
Children in the U.S. are being diagnosed with PANS at a very concerning rate. What is behind this epidemic? What makes a child vulnerable to these conditions? Most importantly, what can be done to bring to bring our kids back to good health?
