t_anna,

 

Here is a good article written by her on the psychology today website. I think she totally "gets" pandas. Notice in about the 6th paragraph where she says:

"There is no other disorder in which patients clearly believe that they do not have the will to resist these impulses or thoughts."

That totally sums up how my dd feels. She absolutely feels powerless against the ocd thoughts.

Here is the link:

You might also consider Dr. Shea. He has definitely seen some PANS kids.

 

Here are some links for his background.
