The Commonwealth of Virginia has officially designated Oct. 9, 2023 PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day, a critical step forward in the fight to help young people suffering from debilitating neuroimmune disorders known as PANS and PANDAS.
Also known as autoimmune encephalitis, these post-infectious disorders are triggered by common viral and bacterial infections, such as strep throat and the flu. The immune system misdirects its response and attacks healthy brain tissue, resulting in life-altering brain inflammation and an array of debilitating symptoms. Early treatment can return patients to their baseline.
The proclamation, issued by Gov. Glenn Youngkin, says that lack of awareness can lead to “misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose many children suffering from PANS and PANDAS and increased costs to taxpayers” if the disease remains untreated.
“Young people affected by post-infectious neuroimmune disorders are taken off their life’s path,” says Dr. Gary Kaplan with the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine. “Many lose the ability to continue schooling or work. There are days they cannot get out of bed and days filled with pain and disability.”
Is your young adult (or teen) looking for tools to manage stress? Our local therapy practice recently welcomed Brittany Tokash, Resident in Counseling, and she has openings now for new clients.
Brittany collaborates with young people, explaining how stress affects us and tailoring for them healthy techniques for confidence, energy, self-esteem, friendships, school and work. If needed, Brittany also provides skilled Depression Therapy and Anxiety Therapy. With all of her clients Tokash uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and values work, staying focused on science-backed results and positive change.
Brittany prioritizes getting to know teens and young adults where they are, “Nobody can tell you what you’re experiencing is unimportant. If it’s causing you pain, it is significant and should be discussed with someone in a safe environment. To talk about it is the first step.”
