Kind of scary, but what's interesting is that so few pediatricians know about it and do blood tests when sudden-onset OCD symptoms arise. If diagnosed as PANDAS and treated with antibiotics within days of symptoms, it is curable. Of course if the blood test does not show increased bacteria-induced titer levels, it is not the same as regular OCD, which is often hereditary and is treated with psychiatric medications and behavioral therapy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926593497861922526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2572591691659594039.post-88157724707036898102010-05-19T09:17:53.132-07:002010-05-19T09:17:53.132-07:00OCD is not something you "catch".OCD is not something you "catch".fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2572591691659594039.post-91694147654977724742010-05-19T03:31:56.122-07:002010-05-19T03:31:56.122-07:00Haha...yes, i am concentrating on my photography. ...Haha...yes, i am concentrating on my photography.

I can only imagine how frustrating, but yet a huge relief to find out that the OCD was caused by a strep infection. Incredible. I am going to put this book on my tbr list.
