Some doctors say the whole idea of PANS/PANDAS is a hoax. But when you talk to practitioners who have brought children back to being themselves again after late onset ADD, unexplained rages, or mental confusion that no one can diagnose -- it's clear that this mental and physical diagnosis is not only real, but a miracle for many families. I sat down with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a rockstar pediatric psychologist, to get the scoop for you on what PANS/PANDAS looks like, and why it might be the root cause of a host of very strange and concerning symptoms. We'll cover:* What PANS/PANDAS is and how it differs from other behavioral and physiological struggles kids might have.* Surprising issues that are in the mental health category (that many people think of as purely physical ailments)* Symptoms that should cause you to suspect PANS/PANDAS* Why parents need to be empowered to be their own health detectives* The varied and individual root cause treatment approaches to get the nervous system to calm down and reduce inflammation* The absolutely critical dietary changes a child suffering from PANS/PANDAS needsWe parents can't possibly know everything, but we do need to know a little bit about everything so that if something crazy happens to our kids, we can find the right expert to help us get them back to health. PANS/PANDAS is a big deal right now because way too many medical doctors aren't trained to look for it, and it's very difficult to diagnose. But savvy parents who have watched this interview will feel in their gut when something is wrong, and you may just save your child's future (or that of a neighbor or friend) just because you knew to ask: Could it possibly be PANS or PANDAS?
