This video was created to tell the story of The Alex Manfull Fund. In this video you will learn:
about our daughter Alex
about board member Sheilah Gauch’s children and their struggles with immune-mediated neuropsychiatric disorders like PANDAS and PANS
about these disorders from physicians and researchers who are experts in the field of immune-mediated neuropsychiatric disorders
what TAMF is doing to help prevent young people from losing years of their lives while they seek diagnosis and treatment and what we are doing to help prevent any other lives from being lost — such as what happened to Alex
over and over, that early diagnosis and treatment yield the best prognosis
The eight professionals in this video, as well as about 90 others in the field, traveled from major universities, clinics, and private practice settings across our country and around the world to attend our PANDAS/PANS symposium in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in October 2022. They came to learn and exchange ideas.
With Group A Strep cases surging and incidents of RSV, influenza, and COVID on the rise – all infections that can trigger PANDAS and PANS – it is more important than ever that parents, physicians, and mental health professionals are aware of these neuroimmune disorders.
