This discussion opens up a crucial conversation about the importance of prioritizing health and wellness over societal expectations, especially for those battling chronic illnesses. Grieving and Growth: The Emotional Journey Highlighting the emotional rollercoaster families face upon diagnosis, Dr. Roseann discusses the grief process, the acceptance of a new normal, and ultimately, the creation of a path forward. Her personal experiences and professional expertise shed light on the necessity of acknowledging and working through these emotions as part of the healing process. The Critical Need for a Holistic Approach A key focus of the episode is the shortcomings of the current medical system in adequately addressing Lyme disease, PANS, and PANDAS. Dr. Roseann advocates for a comprehensive, five-pronged approach to treatment that includes addressing infections and toxins, supporting the immune system, focusing on mental health, providing behavioral and parenting support, and regulating the nervous system.
