Watching your child spiral overnight can feel terrifying and isolating. The confusion, the fear, the endless “why me?” moments—it’s overwhelming. In this episode, Dr. Scott Antoine shares his personal journey and professional expertise on treating PANS/PANDAS.
You’ll learn how to identify symptoms, navigate complex treatment options, and support your child’s recovery—emotionally and physically.
PANS/PANDAS often appears abruptly, triggered by infections like strep, mycoplasma, or Lyme disease.
Unlike typical behavioral issues, symptoms are sudden and severe:
Parent Story
One parent described her daughter’s rapid hand-washing obsession—so intense it caused bleeding—before a PANDAS diagnosis. Early recognition and proper testing are essential for effective treatment.
Treating PANS/PANDAS requires a holistic, integrative approach that addresses both immune and neurological factors:
Dr. Antoine emphasizes combining traditional Western medicine with integrative approaches for faster, safer recovery. Parents often feel relief when symptoms begin to recede within days to weeks of comprehensive treatment.
Recovery isn’t just physical—it’s emotional too. Families often face skepticism, delays in diagnosis, and persistent behavioral challenges:
Parent Story
One father shared that focusing on co-regulation instead of “fixing” behavior transformed his child’s daily struggles into manageable steps.

Many physicians remain unaware of PANS/PANDAS, leading to misdiagnosis or delayed care. Raising awareness ensures your child gets the right treatment sooner:
Early education and advocacy can shorten the road to recovery significantly.
🗣️ "Behavior is communication. When a child’s brain is overwhelmed by infection or immune triggers, it’s not bad parenting—it’s a dysregulated brain. Calm the brain first, and everything else becomes possible." — Dr. Roseann
PANS/PANDAS can be daunting, but recovery is possible. With early recognition, evidence-based treatment, and emotional support, children can regain their health and families can feel empowered.
