Did you know that many psychiatric illnesses in children stem from bacterial infections? Many doctors we see on the frontlines are unaware of these stealth infections so children can go undiagnosed for quite a while. It’s not uncommon for these children to enter treatment programs for conditions such as suicidal ideation, OCD and eating disorders. The stealth infections causing these psychiatric conditions include Lyme disease, Babesia, Mycoplasma and Bartonella just to name a few. In this episode, Liza interviews Dr. Rosalie Greenberg, Board-Certified Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, known for her expertise in the diagnosis and management of complex psychiatric problems in children.
Dr. Greenberg shares stories of children under her care who have experienced improvement through the diagnosis and treatment of these underlying medical conditions. She discusses the psychiatric manifestations of these infections, the type of testing needed and the complexities of some cases, including situations of a congenital load where mothers have also been diagnosed with the same infections. This is an important episode to listen to if you are dealing with mental health issues in your family or know someone who is. There are real connections between psychiatric disorders and stealth bacterial infections. Awareness is critical. Liza and Dr. Greenberg unpack all of it. Listen to this episode.
