PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections) are frequently discussed in relation to sudden behavioural and emotional changes — but they can be confusing to navigate. This two-part series brings clarity, lived experience and expert interpretation to support informed understanding.

In Part 1, we lay the foundations: what PANS and PANDAS are, how they may present, and the current thinking around diagnosis, triggers and overlap with emotional and behavioural responses that can be experienced by PDAers and their families.

Part 2 goes deeper into practical understanding: how symptoms can show up in everyday life, approaches to support within healthcare and educational settings, reflective insights from lived experience, and how to work collaboratively with professionals to make informed decisions.

Created by the PDA Society with contributions from people with lived experience and professionals in the field.
