Lyme disease wears many disguises. In kids, it can look like anxiety, depression, and even tics, symptoms also common for PANS/PANDAS. In this episode of Demystifying PANS/PANDAS, Dr. Jaquel Patterson joins us to unpack how infections, a leaky blood–brain barrier, hormones, sleep, and nutrients interact. She also unveils what lifestyle, botanicals, and targeted testing can do to support recovery.

What if your child’s tics were rooted in an infection no one’s testing for? In this episode of Demystifying PANS/PANDAS, Dr. Jaquel Patterson joins us to share her clinical journey from personal diagnosis to treating complex tick-borne illness. She explains how chronic inflammation weakens the blood–brain barrier, activates microglia, and disrupts brain regions to fuel anxiety, depression, cognitive symptoms, and tics in kids.

Dr. Patterson talks about botanicals with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions, including stevia and cordyceps. She also discusses hormone considerations in adolescents and women, mold’s impact, and the need for individualized testing, realistic relapse planning, and steady advocacy toward full recovery. Watch the full episode to gain insights and discover practical strategies you can use today to protect brain health, calm inflammation, and support lasting recovery.
