See the child’s behaviors in a whole new light. Demystifying PANS/PANDAS is a unique and long overdue resource in the field of pediatric neurobehavioral health, providing a comprehensive overview of the “three-pronged approach” to assessment and care, conventional and naturopathic interventions, a trove of case studies, and plenty of clinical pearls along the way.

Even more importantly, this book provides a roadmap for practitioners and families feeling confused and isolated by this condition, empowering them to make better decisions and sparking a greater conversation about this devastating illness.

There is hope! From a pediatrician with nearly thirty years of experience in neurobehavioral health and functional medicine comes a desktop reference on this controversial yet critical and treatable condition. Geared toward physicians and all practitioners but also helpful for families, Demystifying PANS/PANDAS is a comprehensive and concise dive into Basal Ganglia Encephalitis, walking the listener through the journey of its abrupt onset, diagnosis, and treatment with functional and allopathic medicine. Join Dr. Nancy O’Hara as she discusses how to work within the current medical framework to achieve simple and effective ways to overcome the pitfalls and roadblocks on the path to wellness.

A must have

Excellent reference material for understanding and treating PANS and PANDAS. And no pandas were harmed with the audio recording🙃

Clarity, expertise, high impact

Dr. O'Hara's approach resonates with me as the most courageous and scientific approach to PANS/PANDAS I have encountered thus far. As a PANDAS physician (MD) myself, I've hit roadblocks when just following the guidelines. The academic approach to PANDAS seems siloed and not entirely helpful for healing this complex disorder. Dr. O'Hara combines both traditional and functional medicine approaches to maximize a child's chance of recovery.
