Parents of kids with pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) often describe the same experience. Their child was fine on a Tuesday, but by Friday, their child couldn’t sleep, wouldn’t leave their room, was washing their hands raw, or was having rage episodes that didn't match anything in their history.
Pediatricians run standard panels, but everything comes back normal. The family is told to wait it out, or they’re referred to a psychiatrist who starts with behavioral labels instead of biological ones.
Throughout Dr. Warren's clinical experience treating tick-borne illnesses, this pattern has shown up consistently, and Lyme disease and its co-infections are some of the most overlooked triggers.
