Description: A practical, hope-filled roadmap for parents navigating the frightening world of PANS/PANDAS--and finding a path back to healing.
When a healthy, happy child suddenly develops anxiety, obsessive behaviors, rage, tics, food restrictions, depression, or other alarming symptoms seemingly overnight, parents are often left searching for answers that conventional medicine struggles to provide. For author and practitioner Erin Paige, that search became deeply personal when her own son began exhibiting dramatic behavioral and neurological changes. After years of navigating misdiagnoses, conflicting medical opinions, failed treatments, and the emotional toll of watching her child suffer, she discovered a condition few doctors understood at the time: PANS/PANDAS. In From Hell to Healed, she combines her family's hard-won experience with more than a decade of supporting thousands of families facing the same battle. This comprehensive guide helps parents recognize symptoms, understand potential triggers, navigate testing and treatment decisions, advocate for their children, and restore hope when it feels impossible to find. Blending practical advice, patient stories, emerging research, and actionable strategies, From Hell to Healed offers something many families desperately need: a clear roadmap through confusion, fear, and uncertainty--and evidence that recovery is possible. Whether your child has already received a diagnosis or you're still searching for answers, this book provides the tools, encouragement, and direction needed to move from crisis toward healing.Review Quotes: Praise for From Hell to Healed
"This is a treasure chest of helpful information for those who are navigating the world of PANS/PANDAS. I found myself cheering as I read through Erin's chapter on misconceptions as I envisioned so many more children and, let's face it, even adults, realizing this is the reason for their mental, emotional, or behavioral symptoms and, therefore, finally getting help! I always want to shout, 'It's not a psych problem, it's a brain problem!', and just love that Erin is getting this message across so well. What a blessing to humanity."--Teresa Holler, MS, PA-C, fellow of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs
