🧠 PANS / PANDAS Research for Parents
PANS (Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections) describe a sudden, dramatic onset of OCD, tics, anxiety, or behavioural regression, thought to be triggered by infection or immune dysfunction. This is an evolving and sometimes debated area of medicine. SpecialCircle Research summarises the current evidence honestly - including diagnostic criteria, treatment approaches under study, and what remains uncertain - to help families navigate a confusing diagnosis.
