[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 62498, member: 2423"] MWM, Here's almostcrazy's answer about her daughter's anxiety and family history: PANDAs has been studied extensively at NIMH in Bethesda, Maryland. My guess is that it's ONLY diagnosed in the United States. Generally, these children have pre-existing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), but when they get a strep infection, they experience a dramatic, overnight increase in their Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms. That certainly seems to be a possibility here and one that needs checking out. The Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) brought on by strep is treated exactly how garden-variety Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is treated -- with SSRIs and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Obviously, this mom needs to consult with a child psychiatrist, the sooner, the better because her daughter's symptoms are so severe. by the way, a strep test will be negative at this point if the child has been on antibiotics for several days.
