Pans / Pandas Crisis and Recovery Kristen Anderson

PANS/PANDAS Crisis and Recovery is a true account of a mother's struggle with her son's mental health nightmare. One day in September 2018, her son went from having a regular day at school and an evening of fun activities with his boy scout troop, to thinking his mother was an impostor who might try to hurt him or poison his food. With no specific trauma or event explaining this sudden change in her son's mental state, she began a journey to find answers. This story covers the details around her son's mental health crisis, her struggle to find help, her son's PANS/PANDAS diagnosis and treatment path, and their road to recovery.
