New book for physicians featuring PANDAS

[HT's Mom]

Some of you may already get the emailed PandasNetwork.org newsletter, and If this was already posted or information about this book was already put out on the site I apologize for duplication. But I had not seen it yet, and just had this emailed to me and thought everyone here would be excited to see this publication information. The link is to the PandasNetwork.org newsletter, which references this new book for physicians The book is the "Handbook of Childhood and Adolescent Anxiety Disorders," and features PANDAS in one of the chapters written by Drs. Murphy. and Yokum.

 

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE PANDAS/OCD CHAPTER:

Drs. Tanya Murphy and Kelley Yokum - courageously lay out in easy-to-read fashion the pandas debate. They push the physician reader to think more deeply about the complexities for EACH child and warn the physician that with inaction, the consequences (at times) can be profound for a child's longterm outcome.

Dr. Murphy and her team are awesome. Thank goodness for her and all the other courageous physicians that are mentioned and used by many on this forum. Without them (no matter how far we travel), where would we be? I can only imagine the dispair that parents must have experienced before PANDAS was acknowledged & still, when it goes undiagnosed.

This type of information re: PANDAS, non-emotional and an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and treatment, will go far to help thousands in the future.

 

Thank you Dr.s Murphy and Yokum.
