Wonder if this could be you or your child. Book in with our medical team.

This CBC story highlights a powerful and familiar pattern for the PANS/PANDAS community: when sudden, dramatic psychiatric symptoms are treated as a primary mental health disorder rather than a sign of brain inflammation. Nora Scott was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder for four years before doctors discovered she had autoimmune encephalitis—an immune condition attacking her brain and mimicking psychiatric illness. Her insomnia, obsessive behaviours, impulsive spending, confusion, and personality changes were all interpreted through a psychiatric lens, delaying the correct diagnosis and treatment. Only when clinicians questioned why her symptoms didn’t fully fit bipolar disorder did testing reveal an autoimmune cause. This mirrors what many children and adults with PANS/PANDAS experience: immune-triggered neuropsychiatric symptoms that are too often labeled as “just mental illness,” reinforcing the urgent need for clinicians to consider inflammatory and autoimmune causes when psychiatric symptoms appear suddenly, severely, or atypically.
