Here it’s common for a caregiver to prescribe a young child with a Selective Serotonin Uptake Inhibitor (SSRI) but hesitate to prescribe an antibiotic to counteract a potential infectious-based trigger. For some of these kids, what happens after several years is shocking and sad.
Swedo has put her reputation and career in jeopardy as she fights to cure the condition she named: Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS). Neurologists Jonathan Mink, Roger Kurlan, Harvey Singer and others publically ridicule Swedo and her PANDAS theory, creating controversy over diagnoses and treatment. This group has become known on social media as the “non-believers.” The result: the entire pediatric-care industry is confused and doesn’t know what to do.
And it’s the children who suffer.
P.A.N.D.A.S. DISEASE - Our youngest son Caleb contracted this disease at age 5, we were totally in the dark and were told that nothing was wrong with him.
Seeing our son`s health change completely overnight, not knowing what was wrong, became a living hell for 2 1/2 years. No family should suffer as we have, and this is why we are soliciting our Provincial and Canadian Government to act on this issue so our children receive proper treatment . No child should have to live with a mental health issue, knowing a cure is possible.
We acknowledge, recognize, and respect that we live, work, learn and play within the traditional unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin People.
