PANDAS and PANS caregivers play a crucial role in supporting children affected by these conditions, which cause neuropsychiatric symptoms following infections. PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) require caregivers to provide not only emotional support but also navigate complex medical treatments. Caregivers often work closely with healthcare providers to ensure proper diagnosis, treatment plans, and symptom management. These conditions can be challenging, but caregivers’ dedication is essential in helping children manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Support groups and resources are vital for caregivers’ well-being.
As both a therapist and a parent who has walked this road, I understand how overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting it can feel. You shouldn't have to navigate this alone. Whether you're looking for emotional support, space to process, or guidance through the storm, I’m here to help. Together, we can find steadier ground—for you and your child.
