You Know Something's Missing When Patients Don't Respond

Ā 

You've seen it in your practice:

  • The teenager whose anxiety came on suddenly
  • The child with explosive behavioral changes
  • The adult whose depression won't lift

TraditionalĀ medical approaches help many patients.

But what about the ones who don't get better?Ā 

The uncomfortable truth:

Standard healthĀ care often misses underlying infections that can create psychiatric symptoms virtually indistinguishable from primary mental health disorders.Ā 

The statistics:

  • 40% of Lyme patients experience psychiatric symptoms
  • PANS can transform a healthy child overnight
  • Standard testing misses 40-60% of infections

The result?

Patients bounce between providers for years; frustrated, declining, and losing hope; while the root cause goes undiagnosed.

"When psychiatric medications fail, when symptoms appear suddenly, when patients aren't getting better: it's time to think infection."Ā 

~ Dr. Zendi Moldenhauer, Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer, Arbor Health Functional Medicine & Psychiatry

The Paradigm Shift

Stop asking "What medication should we try next?"Ā 

Start asking "What infection might be driving these symptoms?"

Research reveals how infections create psychiatric symptoms:Ā 

Tickborne Infections
(Lyme, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Mycoplasma, and Rickettsia)

These pathogens:

  • Cross the blood-brain barrier
  • Trigger neuroinflammation
  • Hijack neurotransmitter production
  • Create treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, rage episodes

Each pathogen has distinct psychiatric "fingerprints"

PANS
(Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome):Ā 

Sudden, dramatic onset of:

  • Severe OCD
  • Overwhelming anxiety
  • Emotional dysregulation

Often triggered by infections or immune dysregulation

Often misdiagnosed as primary psychiatric disorders

Responds to immunomodulatory and antimicrobial treatments

The game-changer:Ā 

When you address the root cause (the infection andĀ resulting neuro-immune dysregulation) patients can recover completely.

What You'll Master

This comprehensive program equips you with the clinical tools to recognize, diagnose, and successfully treat infection-driven psychiatric symptoms.Ā 

RecognitionĀ & Assessment

  • Identify pathogen-specific psychiatric "fingerprints"
  • Distinguish infection-driven vs. primary psychiatric disorders
  • Know when to suspect PANS, Lyme, or co-infections

Advanced TestingĀ & Diagnostics

  • Navigate specialty laboratory testingĀ 
  • Interpret complex results and limitations
  • Build diagnostic confidence when standard tests are negative

Root-Cause Treatment

  • Develop targeted antimicrobial treatment plans
  • Implement anti-inflammatory protocols
  • Support immune system regulation and recovery

Neuro-Immune Integration

  • Understand infection-inflammation-psychiatric symptom connectionĀ 
  • Apply Functional Medicine principles
  • Create personalized treatment plans

Clinical Application

  • Review real patient cases and outcomes
  • Develop decision-making skills for complex cases
  • Learn when to refer vs. treat independently
