Back-to-school transitions demand a focus on safety rather than academic stress. Collaboration with schools using tailored support is crucial for children facing PANDAS or autoimmune issues. Understanding Neuroimmune Reactive Avoidance helps explain the underlying challenges these children face. The immune system's attack on the brain can alter emotional responses and reactions to perceived threats. Regulating emotions is important, and progress involves taking small, steady steps toward achieving tolerance and stability.
For families dealing with PANDAS, PANS, or autoimmune encephalitis, understanding Neuroimmune Reactive Avoidance can be a game-changer. It explains what's actually happening inside our children's bodies.
In these conditions, infections or other immune triggers cause the immune system to mistakenly attack the body, producing inflammation in areas of the brain that control emotions, behavior, and threat detection.
This neuroinflammation doesn't just affect mood, it hijacks the nervous system's ability to distinguish between real danger and everyday life.
