Child Behavioral Disorder

Child Behavioral Disorder

PANS & PANDAS, LYME DISEASE, Communicative and behavioural Disorder in Children.

Children shows rarely a clear disease symptoms written in medical text book as each childs immune respponse reflects clinical picture, they often present the clinical picture overlapping, blended presentation of multiple conditions simultaneously makes blur picture for diagnosis and makes difficult to isolate which pathogen or syndrome is showing specific behavious or symptoms at any given moment, to manage such complex and multi-layered conditions require a experienced treatment plan on  basis of clinical experience.

LYME DISEASE

Infection caused by bacteria "Borrelia burgdorferi" and transmitted by the byte of Blacklegged tick, are often fornd in grassy and wooded area, also spread byanimals to different areas. In an India Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted primarily by Blacklegged ticks Ixodes Species(deerticks) Vector Borne Disease VBD. Blacklegged ticks can be very small and its difficult to find out on the body.

Clinical features: Skin rashes, cllassical "bulls-eye" small bumps like mosquito bites, fever with chills, general malaiseand fatigue to extreme tiredness, stiffness and selling of joints specially kneejoints, swollen lymph nodesand in sever cases vision changes and this requires urgent medical attention. Chronic symptoms: Facial palsy and central nervous system disorder, muscle stiffness and knee joint swelling.

PANS and PANDAS

PANS stands for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome

PANDAS stands for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections 

PANS encompasses whole group of acute onset cases of obsessive compulsive disorder whereas, PANDAS associated with specific infection and so it is one specific type.

PANS & PANDAS are infection-induced autoimmune conditions that disrupt child’s normal neurologic functioning.

Insight about PANS:

PANS can be triggered by numerous infections which includes mycoplasma pneumonia, herpes simplex, H1N1 virus and other viruses which causes an abrupt onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms.

In this condition an immunological reaction takes place when your child is exposed to infectious agents. This infection triggers misdirected immune reaction where antibodies produced attacks on healthy tissues of brain or portion of brain instead of foreign bodies and that leads to inflammation of portion of brain.

That particular area of brain which controls movements and behavior.

Due to inflammation there is sudden onset of abrupt neuropsychiatric symptoms. They are as follows:

• Obsessive compulsive disorder 
• Anxiety
• Tics
• Obsessive thoughts
• Eating restrictions 
• Personality changes 
• Emotional liability 

Insight about PANDAS:

PANDAS can be triggered by STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTION which disrupts child’s neurologic activity.

Here in this condition when immune system produces antibodies intended to fight infection and instead, mistakenly they attacks healthy tissues of brain which results into inflammation of brain inducing sudden dramatic onset of symptoms like movement disorder, neuropsychiatric symptoms and abnormal neurologic behavior ‘overnight out of blue’

Inflammation in that particular area of brain which is responsible for speech, tics and emotions.

Some of the neuropsychiatric symptoms are as follows: 

• Abrupt onset
• Obsessive compulsive disorder
• Motor or vocal tics
• Anxiety 
• Urinary frequency
• Sleep disturbances

Diagnosis

• Signs and symptoms.
• No conclusive blood tests or neurological tests to detect.
• Lab test can be made for streptococcal infection or blood test for antibodies.  
• Observation of suddenness after such infections can be helpful to detect.

Homeopathy Treatment :

Homeopathy clears all deviations develops because of infections and removes toxicity by targeting root causes rather than suppressing symptoms, no antibiotics treatment requires. Homeopathic medicine selected on basis of individual etiological factors clears the biological toxins left behind by pathogens and vectors.

Systematically clears the chronic inflammation affecting brain and body. Stimulates and modulates cellular immunity specifically T-cells to restore the body's natural defebnce mechanism and breaks the chronic inflammation cycle.

First 120 days of medicine child shows improvement in intensity and periodicity of symptoms, and next 120 days child come out from this syndromes.
