Dr. Denis Bouboulis is a leading specialist in Neuro-Immunology, known for his pioneering work in diagnosing and treating PANS/PANDAS, which is a Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS), autoimmune encephalitis, and tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease. As the Founder and Director of Superior Associates Infusion Center and head of Advanced Allergy, Immunology & Asthma in Connecticut, he has successfully treated thousands of patients whose conditions were often overlooked or misdiagnosed. With over 13 years of experience as a board-certified physician and a medical degree from New York Medical College, Dr. Bouboulis is committed to raising awareness and delivering cutting-edge care for both common and complex immune-related conditions.   In today's episode of Conversations on Healing, host Shay Beider welcomes Dr. Denis Bouboulis to discuss vector-borne illness, Long COVID, PANS/PANDAS, and the body's immune response. The two discuss how vector-based infections like Lyme disease and parasitic bacteria can remain dormant until a triggering event—such as COVID-19—causes a breakdown in the immune system, leading to symptomatic and chronic illness. Dr. Bouboulis also talks about autoimmune encephalitis, particularly how the basal ganglia is affected and why a holistic, interdisciplinary approach is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment. He shares how he treats some of these autoimmune diseases, and offers hope to patients.   Listen to the complete episode by clicking the player above.

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp podcast, we have the privilege of hearing from Dr. James Neuenschwander, an integrative medicine and emergency medicine physician. Dr. Neuenschwander discusses his extensive experience in treating chronic illnesses in children, with a special focus on those on the autism spectrum. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Neuenschwander is also the president of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS). Key Takeaways: Defining Chronic Illness in Children: Chronic conditions in children, such as asthma, autism, and PANS/PANDAS, often persist for more than a month or two and can significantly affect their quality of life. Immune System Differences: While children generally have a more robust innate immune system, they are more vulnerable to Lyme infections and neurological complications due to their porous blood-brain barrier. Inflammatory Response and Brain Inflammation: Although children may not show severe inflammatory responses to tick bites, brain inflammation can lead to developmental regression and psychiatric symptoms, further complicating diagnosis and treatment. Co-Infections and Diagnostic Challenges: Co-infections such as Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella are common in pediatric chronic illnesses, making diagnosis more complex and requiring an integrated approach to treatment. Environmental Factors and Autism: Infections, toxins, and immune system activation are factors that can induce brain inflammation and increase the risk of autism, contributing to the rising prevalence of autism spectrum disorders. Importance of Integrative and Holistic Approaches: Dr. Neuenschwander emphasizes the need to address the whole ecosystem in treating children with chronic illnesses, focusing on gut health, nutrition, environmental factors, and immune system balance, rather than just targeting specific infections. Role of MAPS in Training Practitioners: The Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS) plays a vital role in educating healthcare providers on integrative techniques for managing complex chronic conditions in children.

One day your child is their “healthy normal” self, and the next day they're radically changed, displaying neuropsychiatric symptoms that can scare and bewilder the child, their families and carers/teachers. The heartbreaking thing is it can take months if not years, to find a doctor who can identify and start treating the cause of this sudden change.Enter Dr Nancy O'Hara. We look at PANS/PANDAS and the genetic, environmental and incidence-based reasons something sudden like this can happen to a child and most importantly, how we can do 2 things. Firstly, mitigate risk by being more literate in causal factors and knowing how to proactively support children's health and resilience. Secondly, know how to spot the changes in kids - some subtle and some severe, so that you can start treating and healing the child soon and avoid being bounced around to a few doctors and practitioners before they get the support and treatment they need.We cover:What PANS/PANDAS can present asWhere it comes from biologically and environmentallyMacro foods that are important for this group and whyHow can we be proactive when an infection hits or tick bite happensand moreSo.

Free article: When Nothing Works: What To Do When You've Tried Everything for Your ChildIn this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel addresses parents who feel they've "tried everything" to help their children overcome chronic health issues. He introduces the concept that nervous system dysregulation is the often-overlooked foundation of chronic childhood conditions, including autism, ADHD, anxiety, epilepsy, PANS/PANDAS, and POTS. Through Hannah's compelling story of recovery from severe health issues through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care, Dr. Ebel explains why the sequence and foundation of healing matters more than individual treatments. He breaks down "The Perfect Storm" of factors that create nervous system dysfunction and why addressing this foundational issue first can make all other interventions more effective.[00:00:00] Introduction & Hannah's StoryHannah's journey from multiple chronic conditions at age 11 to thriving in chiropractic schoolIntroduction to the concept that sequence and foundation matter more than individual treatments[00:02:00] The Exhausted Parent JourneyThe experience of trying both conventional medicine and holistic approaches without successHow the right sequence of healing interventions matters more than doing everything at once[00:07:00] Beyond Gut Health & DetoxWhy focusing solely on gut health, microbiome, and detoxification isn't enoughNervous system dysregulation as the foundational issueHow toxins affect an already compromised system[00:09:00] Understanding Nervous System DysregulationExplanation of sympathetic dominance (fight-or-flight mode stuck "on")The importance of the parasympathetic system and vagus nerve functionHow dysregulation connects to autism, ADHD, anxiety, epilepsy, PANS/PANDAS, and POTS[00:12:00] The Foundation AnalogyHow restoring a house requires a strong foundation firstWhy the nervous system is the foundation for all other healingThe problem with applying therapies and interventions to an unstable foundation[00:15:00] The Perfect Storm The three-factor sequence creating nervous system dysfunctionThe multifactorial nature of chronic childhood conditionsWhy modern children react more strongly to foods, medications, and environmental factors[00:19:00] Why Other Approaches Fall ShortHow a dysregulated nervous system limits detoxification and healingWhy toxins have been around since the 1950s, but chronic illness in kids hasn't[00:20:00] Message of Hope & Next Steps-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Got a show or guest idea? Send us a text!Our Story begins when Ethan, a 13-year-old baseball player and cowlick tamer, got sick. Suddenly, Ethan began having debilitating tics, repetitive movements, and anxiety— an inflammatory brain disorder known as PANDAS, the reason for the panda in our logo.Life dramatically changed for Ethan and no one had any answers. His parents tried everything to help. With good intentions, they turned to their doctors, who prescribed Ethan a long list of pharmaceutical drugs. But the side effects outweighed any benefits. After an agonizing 10-year journey, Ethan knew he had to take responsibility for his own health. Eager to find a natural solution, Ethan discovered the benefits of CBD. For the first time in his life, he saw immediate relief. CBD helped reduce the frequency and severity of his tics, and enabled him to relax, refocus, and leap back into his life the way nature intended. For more information about Green Valley Nutrition visit: https://www.greenvalleynutrition.com/To connect with Erin, visit: https://heartwinghealing.com Nutramedix HerbsTeresa Holler, MS, PA-C, introduced these amazing products on the podcast.

In this vital and technically complex presentation, Dr Scott Antoine explains why PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptoccocal Infection) are common and overlooked root cause of psychiatric symptoms in children (such as OCD, restrictive eating, anxiety, emotional distress, depression, dramatic mood swings, psychosis and suicidal ideation). In doing so, he encourages physicians to explore mental health in an entirely new way, especially in the treatment of children.    Dr Scott Antoine completed his undergraduate training at the University of Scranton, after which he completed his doctorate at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He later served in active duty with the United States Army as an Emergency Physician and worked as an Emergency Physician at St. Francis Hospital until 2019. In addition to his board certification in Emergency Medicine, he achieved board certification in Integrative Medicine and holds certifications in Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and A4M. His book The Comprehensive Physicians Guide to the Management of PANS and PANDAS was released in February 2024 to excellent reviews.    He discovered his calling when he and his wife Ellen, also a Functional and Integrative Medicine physician, battled to correctly diagnose the root-cause of their 12 year old daughter's sudden-onset OCD, insomnia, rage, as PANS. Since then, he has helped hundreds of children recover from PANS and PANDAS, and in 2019 helped to pass a law which prohibits insurance companies in Indiana from denying coverage for medical care (including IVIG) for children with PANS and PANDAS.   In this richly informative personable interview, he presents an evidence-based outline of the successful ways to both diagnose and treat PANS and PANDAS, and stresses that they are not nearly as rare as mainstream medicine seems to believe. He decodes complex medical expertise, referencing over 300 clinical studies and peer-reviewed medical literature, that identify biological mechanisms and the root causes that underlie PANS and PANDAS. In this episode, Dr Antoine unravels why PANS/PANDAS can have such a profound, often sudden impact on Children's psychiatric health, and demands that PANS and PANDAS be considered more broadly in psychiatric diagnoses. In this episode you will learn how infections, toxins and the immune system interplay in the expression of harmful psychiatric symptoms, why they cause PANS and PANDAS, and how they can be successfully treated.   In this episode learn about: Why PANS and PANDAS are hidden and common root cause of OCD, violent mood swings, depression, anxiety and suicidality, how they are diagnosed, and the role of testing. Why physicians routinely overlook and even deny PANS and PANDAS as a cause of mental health symptoms. Why toxins and infections can trigger PANS and PANDAS and their associated neuropsychiatric symptoms. How Strep is related to autoimmunity and why to treat it even if strep tests are negative.   Why a range of infections - not just strep or Lyme borrelia - can trigger neuropsychiatric symptoms (OCD, attention issues, hallucinations, psychosis, depression, suicidal ideation), including other tick-borne co-infections, influenza, Epstein Barr, chlamydia pneumonia and Covid. Ways environmental chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides and mycotoxins (mould) can lead to inflammation and autoimmunity. The concrete link between rheumatic fever and OCD, ADHD, mood issues and psychosis. Other causes of autoimmunity, including genetics, intestinal permeability, infection/T-cell activation and molecular mimicry  (the mechanism by which microbes can induce autoimmunity). The 4 vital components of treatment: 1) find and treat infections 2) find and remove toxins 3) re-regulate the immune system 4) break neurological loops (OCD, anxiety). How to treat infections using prolonged use of antibiotics, and which antibiotics to choose. Why herbs (isatis, baicalensis, cat's claw etc) can reduce the duration of antibiotic use, and the studies that prove it. The binders (activated charcoal, zeolites, humic acid) and bitters that help remove toxins. Ways medications (naltrexone and steroids) can help re-regulate the immune system. Why and when IVIG is used for the treatment, why it can relieve and cure symptoms (OCD, anxiety and tics) quickly. How Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and hypnosis outperforms medications in breaking neurological loops (OCD, anxiety, intrusive thoughts) Other helpful interventions that assist healing; nutrients, diet changes and probiotics.

Children with PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome), PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections), mood disorders, or complex behavioral challenges often struggle with underlying biological imbalances that affect their nervous system, immune function, and overall well-being. While no single approach works for every child, targeted supplements can play a vital role in supporting their health, reducing inflammation, and promoting better emotional and cognitive regulation. That's why it's important to carefully consider supplements that are tailored to address the specific needs of each child. By choosing supplements that align with the child's unique challenges and needs, parents can create a supportive environment that enhances the child's ability to manage their symptoms. So make sure to stick with me in this episode and explore how specific supplements can make a significant impact on managing PANS, PANDAS, mood or complex behavioral issues.Not sure where to start?

Psychiatric medications are often prescribed at an alarming rate. What people don't know is that while these medications may provide short-term relief, they don't always address the root cause—especially in complex conditions like PANS and PANDAS. In many cases, these medications come with significant side effects. If we truly want lasting healing, we need to look beyond symptom management and focus on addressing the underlying factors that drive these conditions.By shifting our focus from masking symptoms to true healing, we can help children and families break free from the cycle of these conditions. In this episode, we'll talk more about why psychiatric medications are often a short-term solution rather than a true fix, the risks and side effects that parents need to be aware of, and why addressing the root cause is key to long-term recovery.Not sure where to start?

The onset of PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections) is influenced by an interplay of various factors, making it a challenging condition to fully understand and manage. These factors exacerbate the symptoms and contribute to the unpredictable nature of flare-ups. That's why there's a need for us to have a comprehensive understanding and a holistic approach when it comes to dealing with PANS/PANDAS and providing support for our children.In this episode, we'll dive deep into uncovering the causes behind PANS/PANDAS onset and trigger flares. By exploring these underlying factors, we can better equip ourselves to recognize, address, and manage PANS and PANDAS more holistically. This will help us develop a deeper understanding of the condition and enhance our ability to support our children.Not sure where to start?

As parents, we want to ensure that our children are getting the right support, especially when they face complex challenges like PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections) or mood and behavioral issues. These conditions can be overwhelming, not just for the child but for the whole family. The impact of a strep infection on a child's brain can lead to sudden and severe changes in behavior, making it even more important for parents to be proactive in understanding their child's needs. That's why it's essential for parents to be on the same page and work together when it comes to being actively involved in their child's care. In addition, maintaining your own mental health is crucial in ensuring you can support your child effectively during this challenging time. When parents collaborate and share a clear understanding of how these conditions affect their child's behavior, it creates a more stable and supportive environment, which is vital for the child's well-being and long-term progress.It definitely makes a great difference when parents work together—when they get informed, show up, and support each other. How to work together as parents to support a child with PANS/PANDAS or mood or complex behavioral issues is crucial for creating a unified approach. Family members can also play a key role in providing support and understanding. So let's talk about those steps to get there, because your child deserves a team that's in sync.Not sure where to start? We'll help you find the right solution tailored to your needs.

Parenting a child with PANS/PANDAS, mood, or behavioral challenges can often feel overwhelming, especially when dysregulation takes over. Dysregulation doesn't just affect the child; it creates a ripple effect, impacting the entire family dynamic. In these situations, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of reactivity, where frustration and confusion take the place of connection and calm.Learning how to regulate your child's nervous system while staying calm yourself can break this cycle, allowing you to better support your child and regain a sense of balance in your home. So make sure to stick with me in this episode, as we dive into quick and effective techniques to calm your dysregulated child.Not sure where to start?

One of the pervasive issues I get asked about a lot is misdiagnosis, especially when it comes to conditions like PANS, PANDAS, ADHD, and mood disorders. These diagnoses can be incredibly tricky because their symptoms often overlap, such as anxiety, emotional dysregulation, irritability, and even inattention. For many, this overlap tends to cause confusion, delaying the right interventions and often worsening their struggles. In today's episode, we'll talk about the differences among these conditions to help parents better understand what's happening with their children. By identifying the specific signs, triggers and patterns unique to each, parents can make more informed decisions about their child's care. Not sure where to start?

When a child experiences constant dysregulation, severe anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, or school avoidance, it's easy to link these challenges to conditions like ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or autism. However, there's another possibility that often goes overlooked: Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS). These conditions, triggered by infections or underlying inflammation, can closely mimic the symptoms of these other diagnoses, leading to frequent misdiagnoses and delays in getting the right help.Recognizing the signs early could make all the difference. That's why this episode is so important—it sheds light on how PANS and PANDAS can often be mistaken for other conditions, and how understanding the link between dysregulation and these disorders can help guide parents toward the appropriate interventions. PANS and PANDAS are manageable, but early intervention is essential. Not sure where to start? We'll help you find the right solution tailored to your needs.

In the last episode of the year, we talked to Lucy from Parenting_PANDAS on Instagram. Lucy shares her story with her 10,000-strong community, charting the hope and despair of life as a PANDAS parent. Originally posting about Pathological Demand Avoidance, she did not consider the diagnosis until one of her followers suggested PANDAS. Sadly, this is not an uncommon route to diagnosis! Since then, her daughter has had antibiotic treatment and is bumpily recovering.  It is a testament to her passion for raising awareness that Lucy manages to post about her family's journey, offering support, parenting hacks (dopamine bag, anyone?!), and hope for PANS/PANDAS parents worldwide. Her insights and commitment are a wonder, and we are thrilled she is on this week's PANS/PANDAS Stories. As always, please like and share the podcast to raise awareness. Happy Christmas and 2025, everyone!

There's been a dramatic rise in clinical issues among children—not just ADHD, but conditions like PANS/PANDAS, OCD, and more. Yet, for many families, the first response is medication.

We'll discuss natural solutions, from nutrition and supplements to brain-based tools like neurofeedback, and explore how to guide your child's brain toward lasting healing and focus.Not sure where to start?

Sometimes, our children seem to be caught in an endless loop, where progress feels fleeting, and the same struggles resurface again and again. In the world of PANS/PANDAS, OCD, and flares, this cycle can feel relentless. Just as one flare subsides, another seems to take its place, leaving families feeling like they're constantly dealing with a storm that never fully clears. Families often find themselves trapped in a cycle of managing symptoms, calming meltdowns, and addressing new challenges, without ever feeling like they're truly moving forward.There's a way to break the cycle and this starts with understanding it. And while it's tempting to look for that one magic solution, real progress comes from a comprehensive approach that addresses the body, brain, and emotions together. Let's dive into what it takes to disrupt this cycle and create the lasting change your child and your family deserve.

Dr Denis Bouboulis, an allergist and immunologist from the US, has been diagnosing and treating PANS PANDAS for nearly 20 years. He talks about the "wild card" of Covid and how Long Covid could be linked to underlying vector-borne infections, such as Lyme disease. In the States, there is more awareness and testing around Lyme and co than in the UK, and it certainly made me think about what could be missing from our children's treatment - especially those who do not seem to get significantly better or frequently relapse. He also discusses how short-term antibiotics to treat PANS/PANDAS is a "false narrative" and how long-term treatment is key for recovery. Although based in the States, he works via telemedicine across the world. Here he is on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-denis-bouboulis/recent-activity/all/

Lucinda Miller is back to talk about her new book Brain Brilliance. It looks at how what you eat affects your health and mood. The book is described as a nutritional toolkit for neurodivergent kids, and is full of healthy and delicious recipes, as well as chapters on what to eat for certain symptoms. It is heavily academically-referenced (550, I think!), and she recommends nutrients and foods that support the immune system. She talks about every day supplements most children can tolerate, growing incidences of high-histamine and what this means, the three different stages of immunity and how to move children back into a place of safety and out of auto-immune issues through diet and supplementation. Some links about things we spoke about... Here is me from my time as a food blogger - at Crumbs Food - making Cake in a Cup. Here is the study on auto immunity, and the Adverse Childhood Experience Study Next month is devoted to PANS PANDAS and education. We kick off a mini series with Naomi Fisher and her latest book When The Naughty Step Makes Things Worse. Then we have PANS PANDAS UK's very own Tina Coope who has loads of good tips, and whose work on the charity's education and care steering group will make a real difference to many of our community's lives.

At age 25, Dr. Jaban Moore went from being an award-winning college athlete to not being able to get out of bed.Seeking answers from countless doctors, Dr. Moore was only given band-aid solutions until he was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease. Once he overcame this complex infection, he dedicated his practice to helping clients discover the causes of their symptoms.Join us as Dr. Moore shares his insights on the crucial role the nervous system plays in regulating immune function, digestion, detoxification, and overall health. He breaks down the science of the sympathetic "fight or flight" response versus the parasympathetic "rest and digest" state, and why chronic stress can lead to a host of health issues.From identifying environmental toxins to healing past traumas, Dr. Moore provides a roadmap for calming the nervous system and unlocking the body's innate healing potential. Because when you're no longer "running from the tiger," you have the energy to thrive."When you're stuck in fight or flight, which means that your body feels unsafe all the time for whatever reason, it is trying to keep up with whatever's happening in your life." ~Dr. Jaban MooreAbout Dr. Jaban Moore:Dr. Jaban Moore is a Doctor of Chiropractic and passionate advocate for functional medicine, specializing in Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, autism, parasitic infections, and environmental toxicities.

Parenting is filled with moments of stress and overwhelm, especially when raising children with different neurological wiring. Many of us have faced times when our child's behavior feels too much to handle, leaving us unsure of what to do next. That's where today's guest, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, comes in. Dr. Roseann is a trailblazer in mental health, media figure, and the founder of Neurotastic™ Brain Formulas and The Global Institute of Children's Mental Health. She is on a mission to “Change the way we view and treat children's mental health and is known for her teachings on promoting brain calmness using science-driven solutions. She is also the host of the It's Gonna Be OK podcast, a go-to resource for parents navigating their children's mental health challenges. In our conversation today, she introduces us to the concept of low-demand parenting, a style that has emerged alongside the increasing recognition of neurodivergent youth. Throughout the episode, Dr. Roseann explains how this approach can help parents reduce their own stress by lowering demands on both themselves and their children. This, in turn, allows kids with dysregulated nervous systems to feel more secure and capable of learning critical skills like flexibility and problem-solving. We'll discuss how low-demand parenting can reduce anxiety in children, how to implement co-regulation techniques, and the benefits of self-regulation in creating a happier, healthier home environment. Show Notes: [2:47] - Neurodivergence and brains that are wired differently are on the rise. [3:27] - Low-demand parenting is a style of parenting that has come with the rise of kids who are uniquely wired. It's a misunderstood style of parenting. [5:11] - When kids have dysregulated nervous systems, no matter where it's coming from, they're going to fall back on familiar behaviors. [6:47] - We need to teach kids flexibility, coping skills, and problem solving. That is a lot harder when you're coming in hot. [8:15] - This style of parenting can be started at any time. But you may get some pushback. [9:34] - One of the benefits of low demand parenting is reducing anxiety. [10:53] - We don't really think about our kids having activations in their nervous systems. [12:23] - This type of parenting is really helpful particularly in current times and with current generations, but specifically with neurodivergent youth. [13:35] - Self-regulation is key to leading a happy life. [14:54] - We learn our parenting from our own parents and the strategies are not always helpful. [16:32] - When you're overwhelmed, everything feels like a mountain. The one action you can start with is co-regulation. [18:51] - Dr. Roseann gives some starting points in learning co-regulation. [21:19] - The hardest part is reinforcement. It's not going to stick with just one time. [23:13] - A common misconception is that children are trying to overwhelm us on purpose. We can guide them to healthy ways to manage discomfort. [24:39] - The most common reason people leave college is due to their mental health. [26:58] - Give the other parent or caretaker the information as well. [28:42] - The more you are regulated, the more regulated your child will be. Dysregulation can negatively impact the parent-child relationship. [30:50] - Being regulated doesn't mean you don't feel stress. It means that you are activated by it.

Julie Cox is the mother of all PANS PANDAS therapists and she has been working with these children and families for the last 20 years after her daughter got the illness. She has poured her personal and professional knowledge and compassion into her therapy work with sufferers. A big part of that is also coaching parents and families on how to survive when the going gets tough - as it frequently does due to the waxing and waning nature of the illness. Sound familiar?! In this warm chat, Julie weaves in her personal experiences and professional expertise. Explaining how validation for parents is important, emphasising how therapists must work with these children differently and recommending lots of resources (Stephen Porges, Deb Dana, Dan Siegel and Dr Ross Greene).  I loved chatting with her and was sorry we ran out of time as we had so much to say. The good news is she has promised to come back later in the year. Thank you, Julie!

In this second part of a 2-part series from last week's show, host Dr. Lia talks with Dr. Erica Greenberg about some of the surprising research looking at the association between autoimmune and inflammatory conditions and higher rates of OCD. Dr. Greenberg discusses the neuroscience around OCD from genetic to environmental factors, and the puzzling overlap of symptoms in disorders like Tourette's and OCD. She stresses the crucial need for interdisciplinary research to shed further light on these intricate associations. You'll get insights into why certain treatments are recommended with caution and why controversy still remains around PANDAS and the desperate need for collaboration and comprehensive research to truly understand these complex conditions. You'll also hear about the role of stress-induced inflammatory responses and how they render some individuals more susceptible to immune-related dysfunctions, shedding light on the significant impact of environmental factors like lead exposure on basal ganglia circuitry. Dr. Lia's conversation with Dr. Greenberg reveals the interconnected nature of disorders such as OCD, Tourette syndrome, and other neuropsychiatric ailments, underscoring the necessity for further research. Conversations like these illuminate the path forward, emphasizing that the key to understanding and treating these conditions lies in collaborative research efforts across various disciplines. [01:46 -12:40] Understanding PANDAS and PANS Origins and SymptomsPANDAS is specifically linked to post-infectious streptococcal etiology.PANDAS involves the sudden onset of tics and/or OCD.PANS shares a similar characteristic of sudden, rapid onset of a complex of symptoms.Importance of understanding the specific triggers and symptoms associated with both PANDAS and PANS.[12:41 - 23:32] Understanding the Clinical Outcomes of PANS/PANDAS Treatment Sudden onset of symptoms such as tics, OCD, and separation anxiety is notable in these conditions.Some children experience complete recovery back to baseline after antibiotic treatment within a week.There is ongoing research into the different potential clinical courses following a PANS/PANDAS diagnosis.Emphasis on the importance of recognizing and understanding the diverse range of clinical outcomes.[23:33 - 35:37] Genetic and Environmental Influences on OCD and Tourette SyndromeStudies show significant associations between OCD, Tourette syndrome, and increased rates of throat infections.Research indicates higher odds ratios of developing OCD and Tourette in youth with infection histories.A dose-response relationship exists between strep infections and OCD/Tourette symptom severity.Studies find higher rates of autoimmune disorders in individuals with OCD and Tourette and their family members.[35:38 - 48:00] Key Information and Challenges Surrounding PANS and PANDASNeed for more thoughtful, nuanced, safe, appropriate information for parents.There's evidence that PANS and PANDAS have a more negative impact on families compared to typical OCDOCD and Tourette syndrome develop slowly, while PANS and PANDAS show abrupt changes.Families face significant trauma, especially when providers dismiss their concerns.[48:01 - 55:17] Closing segment TakeawaysLinks to resources mentioned on the showErica Greenberg, MD PANDA AND PANS Presentation Swipe Files
