🧠 PANS/PANDAS: A Treatable Condition Too Often Missed

Imagine your thriving, happy, social child—or yourself—suddenly unable to function. Overnight, everything changes: OCD or restricted eating takes over, anxiety skyrockets, tics appear, moods swing, schoolwork slips away, sleep disappears, and once-familiar behavior turns unrecognizable. This is what PANS and PANDAS can look like.

PANS and PANDAS are neuroimmune conditions triggered by infections, inflammation, or metabolic imbalances that cause brain inflammation.

Symptoms often relapse and remit, changing quickly depending on exposure to triggers and treatment access. At first glance, PANS/PANDAS can resemble OCD, ADHD, autism, Tourette’s, anxiety, or mood disorders—and that’s why it’s so often misdiagnosed.

But here’s what makes PANS/PANDAS different:
This isn’t just a psychiatric disorder. It’s a medical condition affecting the brain. And treating only the symptoms psychotherapeutically isn’t enough. Proper care requires a medical and therapeutic approach.

Research shows that early identification and appropriate treatment lead to better outcomes. Yet families often see an average of 8 doctors over 3 years before getting the right diagnosis. That delay can mean lost childhoods, lost stability, and in devastating cases, lost lives.
It’s time to change that.
