Hi, and welcome to another episode of the Healing Lyme Summit. I'm your host, Dr. Myriah Hinchey. And today we're going to be talking about the relationship between vector borne infections, pans, pandas, and basal ganglia encephalitis. You know, it seems that neuropsychiatric disorders are definitely on the rise. And it is really important to know what the underlying cause is so that you can get the proper treatment. And I think that this is super important when you have a neuro psychic symptom that comes on abruptly. And in my opinion, when this happens, infections should always be ruled out as the underlying cause. So here to walk us through this really powerful discussion is Nancy O'Hara, M.D. Dr. O'Hara is a board certified pediatrician. She is a expert in pediatric special needs. She is a leader in educating both the public as well as medical providers in how to treat autism spectrum disorder. Pans pandas mold Lyme, Covid. You know, all of these complex chronic medical conditions. So welcome, 

Dr. O'Hara. Tell our listeners a little bit about yourself and how you came to treat all of this.
