PANDAS OCD

[LNN]

I'm happy to post my handout from IOCDF but it's a Word table. If someone can help me figure out how to post it, I will. It just doesn't look right if I cut and paste.

Can you scan it and post it as a picture?

Here's the converted MS Word chart LLM furnished!

HELLO??? Age of ONSET???

Let me put this in perspective.

First, it is only my understanding of the topic. I am no expert on OCD and a real novice at ERP and CBT. Not all of it is backed by footnotes I got from research.

 

Second, the intended audience was the parent in the room who came to the conference knowing their child had OCD, but wondering if it might be caused by PANDAS. The audience was not the PANDAS veteran. SO I focused on OCD aspects of Pandas. You won't see mention of tics or adhd. Traditional OCD kids can have these too, and I was only trying to highlight the differences.

 

Third, some of us on Latitudes belong to another OCD forum and we "scan" for Pandas cases, then refer them to Latitudes for guidance and support. There are certain things in a newcomer's post that are red flags. I decided to summarize those flags so that a parent might have some quick card they could reference to see which side their child fell on. This was an OCD conference, so I focused on OCD aspects only. It isn't intended to be a diagnostic sheet. Please use it or share it if it's helpful, but it's not "gospel". (However, with enough positive posts, you can tell someone it's been "peer reviewed"
