Norasmom Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hi. My daughter had mono and pneumonia after which she developed severe contamination OCD. We got her therapy and she was fine. Then she complained one day of seasonal allergies and went into a full blown psychosis, sudden onset. Can pollen cause pans to flare into a psychosis?

MomWithOCDSon Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Allergies definitely constitute an "immune event," so the immune reaction and its accompanying inflammation could definitely contribute to a PANs flare. I would look into other triggers as well, however, as I don't recall having heard of a "full blown psychosis" reaction to only seasonal allergies. Perhaps she's been exposed to other bacterial or viral invaders, as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bws1565 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 If you were to listen to the alternative world, psychosis is a symptom of an overwhelmed liver. So yes, pollen can cause the "barrel to overflow". A good idea to try would be an enema, to relieve the liver overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annieo Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Is she on steroids for pneumonia? I've known kids on high dose steroids who have gone into psychosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
