Laura McCall tells the horrifying story of her young daughter's descent into rages, anxiety, and obsessive/compulsive behaviors, the solution emerging with the child's diagnosis with PANDAS: Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections.  The related malady, PANS, Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome, is also discussed.  These disorders have been called the leading hidden causes of mental illness in children.  Beyond this, you'll hear about how parents can handle chronic illness and mysterious health problems in your kids, how mold and mold remediation affect a family, and how a child's room and home can help them cope with physical and psychological problems.  This interview could be lie-changing for some families.
