We have treated our daughter for depression and ADHD separately from the Lyme.

We see a Lyme doc in Va who supported the treatment. My daughter also sees a

psychiatrist who originally prescribed the meds. In my humble opinion this has

been a good decision for our daughter. Her body is going through so much and

these meds help her get through the day when she feels crippled from other Lyme

symptoms.

,

I think you were asking who Dr. Bransfield is.

**Dr. Bransfield is a lyme literate psychiatrist from NJ that has

an interest in lyme and other tick born illnesses that effect the brain.

I was on an email list with him a few years ago, and his knowledge and

understanding of these illnesses was vastly impressive. He has written a

great deal on the topic and is speaking in April in PA at the LDA of PA.

You can find his articles on line.

I googled. Dr. Bransfield lyme psychiatrist and many links came up. Here

is the link to the ILADS page on him

http://www.ilads.org/about_ILADS/officers_directors.html#page=page-1

<cid:part1.02010504.07090003@...> and here is one that has

a list of published articles he has written on lyme and the psychiatric

effects http://www.mentalhealthandillness.com/lymeArticles.htm

<cid:part2.09030408.08070701@...> There are many lyme

associations and sites that also have bios and articles of his.

He is very knowledgable and I have learned alot from him on the

psychiatric and cognitive issues related to these infections.

Good luck,

Thanks so much!!  I would really like to give something to my oldest daughters

psychiatrist as the last time we were there my daughter was in a como sleep

phase and this doctor told her it was just a mental thing - she should go out

and exercise for 20 minuets and tell herself she wasn't tired - then she would

be fine..........so frustrating........she told me she knows about CFS so its a

mental thing........makes me so mad that they treat us like this..............I

wish it was just a mental way of thinking.......I would weigh 115lbs and have an

awesome paying job and my kids would be in school every day and life would

GRAND........life would be good.

Diane
