Working in New Jersey, where Lyme disease is endemic, Dr. Greenberg found a sizable number of the children she evaluated tested positive for tick-borne illness, most of whom never had a known tick bite. She turned her focus to the psychiatric manifestations of infectious diseases, especially tick-borne illnesses in children and adolescents. She has published multiple articles and commentaries in the medical literature related to infections and psychiatric illness, especially tick-borne illnesses. Dr. Greenberg maintains a private practice in Summit, New Jersey.
