Is It Lyme or Just Anxiety? What Parents Need to Know
9 months ago
- Lyme in Children Often Mimics Psychiatric Disorders – Unlike adults, kids often show neuropsychiatric symptoms—mood swings, OCD, anxiety, behavioral changes—that lead to misdiagnoses like ADD, depression, or oppositional defiance. If traditional meds don’t work, it’s time to look deeper.
- Diagnosis Requires Clinical Intuition and Advanced Testing – Children struggle to articulate symptoms, and standard Lyme tests often miss the mark. Dr. Kelley emphasizes a clinical diagnosis based on history, physical exam, and targeted specialty lab testing.
- Kids Respond Beautifully to Integrative, Holistic Treatment – Herbs, gut-healing supplements, dietary shifts, and nervous system support work exceptionally well in kids—often better than long-term antibiotics. A root-cause, gentle approach can restore clarity, calm, and resilience.
