This sounds like undiagnosed PANDAS.

Wow, it really does. I hope she looks into it.

I think all mental illness needs to be looked thru an autoimmune set of lenses before a diagnosis/treatment plan is considered..That is one of my big take aways from the last 2 years....

 

I cant believe with all the information that we as parents can access over the internet, cited by respectable sources, that things like autoimmune root causes, food allergies, a methylation panel, lyme infestations are not even considered by the medical community.

 

UGH

 

That being said, my own brother, whom possesses a very high IQ, HAS NOT DONE ONE THING THAT I HAVE SUGGESTED FOR HIS 21 YEAR OLD SON WHOM IS DX'D WITH BI-POLAR AND IS SO OVER MEDICATED THAT HE IS A ZOMBIE....has failed to read one article, or take one suggestion that I have made seriously....
