Some kids have OCD symptoms due to an umbrella of issues under PANDAS/PANS. Research is showing that inflammation in the brain can impact mental health and cause neuropsychiatric symptoms, including OCD. Many kids have autoimmune issues, infections such as strep or have had environmental exposure to things like mold or Lyme that can cause an inflammatory response.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I invited Jessica Gavin, a PANDAS/PANS advocate, and mom to three kids with PANDAS/PANS, to explore the world of PANDAS/PANS with me.
