279: Should you medicate your child with PANS PANDAS? Feb 19, 2025

Psychiatric medications are often prescribed at an alarming rate. What people don’t know is that while these medications may provide short-term relief, they don’t always address the root cause—especially in complex conditions like PANS and PANDAS. In many cases, these medications come with significant side effects. If we truly want lasting healing, we need to look beyond symptom management and focus on addressing the underlying factors that drive these conditions.

By shifting our focus from masking symptoms to true healing, we can help children and families break free from the cycle of these conditions. In this episode, we'll talk more about why psychiatric medications are often a short-term solution rather than a true fix, the risks and side effects that parents need to be aware of, and why addressing the root cause is key to long-term recovery.

278: What Causes PANS/PANDAS Onset and Triggers Flares? Feb 17, 2025

The onset of PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections) is influenced by an interplay of various factors, making it a challenging condition to fully understand and manage. These factors exacerbate the symptoms and contribute to the unpredictable nature of flare-ups. That's why there's a need for us to have a comprehensive understanding and a holistic approach when it comes to dealing with PANS/PANDAS and providing support for our children.

In this episode, we’ll dive deep into uncovering the causes behind PANS/PANDAS onset and trigger flares. By exploring these underlying factors, we can better equip ourselves to recognize, address, and manage PANS and PANDAS more holistically. This will help us develop a deeper understanding of the condition and enhance our ability to support our children.

277: How to Work Together as Parents to Support a Child with PANS/PANDAS, Mood or Complex Behavioral Issues Feb 12, 2025

As parents, we want to ensure that our children are getting the right support, especially when they face complex challenges like PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections) or mood and behavioral issues. These conditions can be overwhelming, not just for the child but for the whole family. The impact of a strep infection on a child’s brain can lead to sudden and severe changes in behavior, making it even more important for parents to be proactive in understanding their child’s needs. That’s why it's essential for parents to be on the same page and work together when it comes to being actively involved in their child's care.

In addition, maintaining your own mental health is crucial in ensuring you can support your child effectively during this challenging time. When parents collaborate and share a clear understanding of how these conditions affect their child's behavior, it creates a more stable and supportive environment, which is vital for the child’s well-being and long-term progress.

It definitely makes a great difference when parents work together—when they get informed, show up, and support each other. How to work together as parents to support a child with PANS/PANDAS or mood or complex behavioral issues is crucial for creating a unified approach. Family members can also play a key role in providing support and understanding. So let’s talk about those steps to get there, because your child deserves a team that’s in sync.

Parenting a child with PANS/PANDAS, mood, or behavioral challenges can often feel overwhelming, especially when dysregulation takes over. Dysregulation doesn’t just affect the child; it creates a ripple effect, impacting the entire family dynamic.

275: PANS/PANDAS vs. ADHD vs. Mood Disorder: How to tell the Difference in Your Child Feb 05, 2025

One of the pervasive issues I get asked about a lot is misdiagnosis, especially when it comes to conditions like PANS, PANDAS, ADHD, and mood disorders. These diagnoses can be incredibly tricky because their symptoms often overlap, such as anxiety, emotional dysregulation, irritability, and even inattention. For many, this overlap tends to cause confusion, delaying the right interventions and often worsening their struggles.

In today's episode, we'll talk about the differences among these conditions to help parents better understand what’s happening with their children. By identifying the specific signs, triggers and patterns unique to each, parents can make more informed decisions about their child’s care.

274: 10 Top Signs Your Dysregulated Child Might Have PANS/PANDAS Feb 03, 2025

When a child experiences constant dysregulation, severe anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, or school avoidance, it’s easy to link these challenges to conditions like ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or autism. However, there’s another possibility that often goes overlooked: Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS). These conditions, triggered by infections or underlying inflammation, can closely mimic the symptoms of these other diagnoses, leading to frequent misdiagnoses and delays in getting the right help.

Recognizing the signs early could make all the difference. That’s why this episode is so important—it sheds light on how PANS and PANDAS can often be mistaken for other conditions, and how understanding the link between dysregulation and these disorders can help guide parents toward the appropriate interventions.

PANS and PANDAS are manageable, but early intervention is essential. Not sure where to start? We'll help you find the right solution tailored to your needs. Visit https://drroseann.com/help/ today and take our FREE Brain and Behavior Solutions Matcher.

273: When should I consider non-medication approaches over traditional medication? Jan 29, 2025

Parents are often divided on when to consider non-medication approaches over traditional medication for their children. For some, the idea of trying anything other than a prescription feels risky, while others worry about relying too heavily on medication without addressing the root causes. What’s often missing from the conversation is a balanced look at the science behind both options.

Let’s cut through the confusion, follow the science and give our kids the foundation they deserve. It’s time to explore options that align with your child’s unique needs and empower you as a parent to make informed choices.

A dysregulated brain can manifest in either understimulation or overstimulation.

Communication is indeed the key to fostering a healthy relationship. The ability to effectively communicate applies as much to parent-child relationships as it does to any other type of relationship. Sometimes, it just seems too difficult for parents to establish a strong connection with their children which usually results in more issues in their children’s mental health and overall well-being.

Reasons as to why parent-child communication breaks down vary and each one of them is capable of significantly impacting the parent-child relationship. That is why it’s essential for us to dive deep into those reasons in today’s episode.

115: Trauma and the Brain Sep 11, 2023

At some point in our lives, we’ve had traumatizing experiences in some way, shape or form. These traumas affect how our brain works and how we react to things and unfortunately, for some people, the profound impact of their traumas could be worse and further affect their overall well-being.

114: Why Choose Expert Care? Sep 08, 2023

Despite the care your child is getting, there is still a chance that his behaviors are going to get stuck, making it more challenging to resolve your child’s behavioral issues. If the behavioral issues are rooted in deeper emotional, psychological, or neurological factors, addressing them may take more time.

Nevertheless, it's important for parents to remain optimistic, seek professional guidance when necessary, and continue to adapt their strategies to meet the needs of their child. In today’s episode, we’ll be talking about the importance of choosing expert care rather than the general care your child is probably getting.

109: 10 Tips to Overcome Negative Thinking And Be a Better Parent Aug 23, 2023

Sometimes, we don’t realize that in some ways, we are already leaving negative impacts on our kids which then causes generational negativity in the long run. If we don’t break the cycle, our kids are likely to pass on similar negative behaviors to others and their own children as they grow up.

This is actually my 100th episode of the podcast. Can you believe it? It feels like it was yesterday that we started. I feel so proud of this. I am really excited about where we've been and where we're going. Listen in as I reflect our journey together and what’s ahead.

We almost reached 150,000 downloads. When I tell other podcasters, that's the equivalent of saying, I've got a Ferrari. Right. When you say it, people are like, holy cow. So it's, it's caught on because I created this. Because you asked me and told me what you needed.

Let’s talk about what we are focused on and what we need right now. I made my podcasts short with actionable tips and tools. As you know, everything I do is science-backed. I like to tell everybody, “I'm science in the front and woowoo in the back”. I'm super spiritual. I believe in a lot of things, but I know you need guidance from science. What's amazing in this journey is I've been able to teach everybody what I've been learning for 32 years.

When children with ADHD experience hyper focus, they can become deeply engrossed in a specific task or activity, causing them to lose awareness of their surroundings. They might not even respond to their name being called.

80: Is my child's anger normal? Jun 12, 2023

When a child experiences dysregulation, their ability to regulate emotions, cope with stress, and maintain self-control can be compromised. Surely, most parents have asked themselves at some point, “Is my child’s anger normal?”

What we need to do is to help them be more focused and calm, which is why we’re focusing on whether or not your child’s anger is considered normal or is it a clinical issue.

We have to keep in mind, however, that these solutions are not going to be effective if we don’t show up constantly and if we don’t commit ourselves to it. Indeed, consistency is key.

42: Natural Treatments for Autism and ADHD with Jennifer Giustra - Kozek Mar 27, 2023

About Jennifer Giustra - Kozek:

I assist individuals, couples, and families through life journeys and transitions. I help during episodes of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse-related issues by teaching how people can better manage emotions and designing effective coping strategies.

With over 17 years of experience, my approach to therapy embraces an integration of compassion, intuition, and empathy, focusing on clarity and change. I help people to come out of the groove of old thinking and behavior.

I employ several therapeutic modalities throughout treatment, including cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic therapies. In addition, I use Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Hypnotherapy to access your subconscious and the deeper part of you where fear, phobias, trauma, and maladaptive coping strategies such as alcohol dependency, and other addictive behaviors reside.

No good teacher uses one approach for every student. Therefore, I listen attentively and let you formulate your curriculum.

My Specialties include trauma & PTSD, addiction, co-dependency, personality disorders, bipolar depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders & phobias.

Medication should not be our first go-to solution. More natural treatments for autism and ADHD are available for us and our children that have the same significant effects, if not better, than medication.

Fortunately, we're here to discuss with Ms. Jennifer Giustra-Kozek, a fellow trailblazer and author of Healing Without Hurting: Treating ADHD, Apraxia, and Autism Spectrum Disorders Naturally, about the natural solutions for autism and ADHD to restore health and create lifelong wellness.

41: How your Parenting is Feeding Your Child’s OCD Mar 24, 2023

Parenting is one of the most significant factors that impact a child's mental health. Unfortunately, there's a tendency that your parenting skills can worsen your child's Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or other mental health disorders.

39: What is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)? Mar 20, 2023

More often than not, parents are warned how hard it is to treat cases of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). However, we’ve already established in our previous episode that we shouldn’t lose hope because there are solutions.

We also briefly mentioned that the best approach parents should do to help their kids is Exposure and Response Prevention. So if you aren't treating yours or your kid's OCD with this therapy, you're wasting your time.

Let’s dismantle all these reasons commonly imposed upon us about how people with OCD won’t get better because we can, in fact, get better with OCD.

If your anxious kid has been going to therapy for a long time but it seems to be ineffective, then your kid might be suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and not anxiety.

OCD and anxiety are two disorders that are closely tied to each other but at the same time, they’re different and separate from each other. And thus, the need to distinguish between the two since there’s not enough discussion about it when in fact, it’s important.

Most people think they know what obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is when they don't. Their misconception is that it's as simple as someone washing their hands to eliminate germs.

One of the most misunderstood parts of the brain is in the frontal lobes where focus and executive functioning are both being managed. Though it may seem difficult to have a deeper understanding as to how executive functioning works, we have to try our best to avoid misdiagnosis.

Most kids experiencing executive functioning issues get misdiagnosed with ADHD and vice-versa. Thus, it’s crucial for us to understand the differences between these two.

Sometimes, parents are left wondering if their kids have ADHD based on their behaviors but they’re not sure. Is that a normal thing or are we just expecting too much from our kids?

It’s understandable that we assume that they have ADHD when they show inattentiveness or they get unfocused when we’re trying to talk to them. But how do we know if it’s still normal behavior and when it’s already considered as ADHD?

When children are inattentive, unfocused, and unmotivated, parents sometimes wonder whether or not their child is acting that way on purpose. But that’s not usually the case.

There are many reasons behind a child’s behavior. Sometimes, their behavioral changes are caused by external or internal stressors whereas some don’t know how to cope with their feelings.

One of the most common questions from parents is centered on intermittent fasting and how it works. This is equally important as discussing mental health since our food intake affects our brain health too.

What you put in your mouth has an impact, whether positive or negative, in both our mind and body. And so, it’s good that a lot of people hear about it because of articles and posts circulating online.

Fasting is not something new but rather it’s been around for a long time. However, most people think otherwise. Thus, it’s best for us to shed more light on what you should do to maintain or reach a good health condition physically and mentally.

19: Why You Shouldn’t Medicate Your Child With ADHD Feb 14, 2023

Medications are perceived as safe solutions, especially for various mental health conditions. Usually, when parents discover that their kids are struggling with their mental health, their primary solution is to have their kids take medications.

Like two sides of a coin, medications both have its pros and cons. The cons, however, are not entirely acknowledged or made known to patients and parents.

Research studies show that 100% of the time, your child will have a side effect from medications. These side effects are usually shown through your child’s irritability, sleep problems, and restricted eating.

So, despite many stimulants and psychostimulants, the brain is not going to work in its optimal condition. Thus, there’s a need to open that up for discussion and help you understand the reasons and repercussions why you shouldn’t medicate your child with ADHD, anxiety, or other mental health conditions.

18: Don’t Use Grades as the Benchmark of Mental Health Feb 13, 2023

Academic pressure has long been considered to be one of the contributing factors to poor mental health. That’s why there’s a need for us to talk about why we shouldn't use grades as the benchmark of mental health.

In the United States, the state of mental health is not looking good. A vast majority of kids are in conflict and dealing with a lot more stress and anxiety. There’s also a sheer increase in the volume of people taking medications for mental health diagnoses.

Yes, it’s that bad. So we need to stop putting so much pressure on students and stop regarding grades as the benchmark of mental health because they’re not.

15: How to Convince Your Spouse to do Holistic Treatments Feb 08, 2023

For so long, mothers have been the CEOs of the medical, emotional, and even educational well-being of kids. But roles have changed over the years as the society and its norms and way of life continuously develop and become more progressive in different aspects.

Come to think about how women were wired and nurtured to be caregivers. During childhood, girls are given dolls, whereas boys are given balls and legos. So you see, even as young as that, girls are trained to be caregivers.

Kids need as much help and support as they can get from their parents. And so, you have to convince your spouse why and how to do holistic therapies like neurofeedback, psychotherapy, supplements, and many more that will be beneficial for your kids.

So let's dive in and talk about how to successfully do that!

There are several questions all about neurofeedback coming in from families, providers, friends, and other people. This is a good thing because people want to know more about this innovative tool that has been such a game changer in mental health.

Let’s dive into some of the general and frequently asked questions about neurofeedback!

Do I need a QEEG Brain Map?

Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) is a good diagnostic tool as it somehow answers a lot of questions. However, I work with people remotely all over the world as not everybody can fly out to me or drive to me.

Data collection is necessary, and so, we collect data from certain regions of the brain and then make statistical comparisons. Some people use different formulas considering there are all kinds of formulas available. That might not reflect everything, though.

There are tens and thousands of research and peer-reviewed studies proving just how effective and useful neurofeedback is. And it's been around a very long time, since the 1960s.

07: What to Say to a Teacher When They Tell You to Medicate Your Kid Jan 27, 2023

Just because the teacher tells you to have your child medicated, doesn’t mean you should. Today, we’re going to find out exactly what happened in Gayle’s encounter with a teacher who advised her to medicate her children.

What were the symptoms that prompted the teacher to advise taking medication?

The teacher who confronted Gayle about her child observed that the latter’s child was struggling with comprehension and focus. Although this was a common struggle for most young children, it was more on an unusual level of slow comprehension and inattentiveness for the part of Gayle’s child which made it a concerning matter.

However, the immediate solution given by the teacher was medication which should not be the first thing to consider because it is actually violative of state law and also because there are other alternatives that are safer, more natural, and proven to be effective.

Even a quick search on Google will give you a list of alternatives although you have to be careful in reading through various articles and websites as there are misinformative posts online which you may come across.

06: What is a QEEG Brain Map? Jan 26, 2023

QEEG or Quantitative electroencephalography is an important diagnostic tool that will help you better understand exactly what is going on with your child.

QEEG brain mapping greatly helps in identifying brain wave patterns and shows you everything that’s wrong with your brain. In relation to mental health, brain mapping detects neuropsychiatric disorders, dementia, brain injuries, mental health disorders, and more.

The changes in a child’s mood, behavior, and personality may be explained by the assessment from the QEEG brain mapping. Hence, it’s best to have knowledge about this diagnostic tool that will guide us in helping our children have a good mental health condition and ensuring that their brain functioning is better.

02: Solutions for Struggling Kids With ADHD, LD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, PANS/PANDAS Jan 23, 2023

Nowadays, kids as young as 2 to 3 years old are already struggling with their mental health.

Kids’ struggles vary, but one thing is for sure - there is a long list of struggles that kids face these days. Some examples of mental health struggles are attention deficit disorder (ADD), anxiety, learning disabilities, and autism.

With such innocence and the lack of knowledge about many things, kids have no idea how to handle their emotions or how to cope with challenging moments in life.

As extreme as it may sound, some kids don’t take these struggles well. And when everything becomes too much to bear, suicidal ideations or suicidal risks will most likely increase.

But struggling is not permanent. We can and we will do something about it. And that’s what I’m here for - to empower you in resolving these struggles.

01: Why Children's Mental Health Is More Important Than Ever Jan 23, 2023

Children’s mental health is more important than ever!

One in two kids in the United States has a physical or mental health problem they are dealing with. Can you believe that 50% of school-age children today are dealing with a physical or mental health issue? That’s staggering!
