The workshop will review a clinical case with the goal of comparing and contrasting care pathways based on the experience of facilitators and participants. We will consider ways in which differences in clinical opinion and approach impact patient care. We will review ways of discussing these diagnoses with families, risk/benefit considerations for different therapeutic approaches, and strategies for dealing with uncertainty and disagreement. At the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Describe evidence for neuroimmune and inflammatory changes in childhood mental health disorders including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) / Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) 2. Explain the research evidence base for treatment of PANS and approach to diagnosis and treatment requiring collaboration among subspecialities 3. Identify family and clinician experiences and sociocultural factors impacting neuroinflammatory diagnoses and approaches to care
