Sudden onset OCD article in OC Foundation newslettter

[Guest guest]

This is a great article that was published in the most recent IOCF newsletter.

It was written by Jenike, a highly regarded expert in the field of OCD.

It mentions a name change from PANDAS to PANS, to take into account that

infections other than strep are often at play. In addition to listing symptoms,

it gives recommendations for testing to pursue prior to starting treatment as

well as treatment options.

I think this is a great thing to pass on to doctors, psychiatrists and

teachers...especially if their knowledge of PANS (formerly PANDAS or PITAND) is

limited.
