Brian Fallon MD. MPH. Lyme Aware Delaware Conference. 05.17.24","description":"In this video, I discuss the neuropsychiatric aspects of Lyme disease, highlighting how untreated cases can lead to significant cognitive and emotional challenges, with 10-15% of patients developing neurologic signs. I present clinical cases that illustrate the complexities of diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the need for awareness among healthcare providers, especially regarding patients who may not exhibit classic symptoms. I also share findings from a nationwide study indicating a 30% increased risk of mental disorders in individuals diagnosed with Lyme disease. I urge clinicians to consider Lyme disease testing in patients with unexplained psychiatric symptoms, particularly following tick exposure. Your attention to these issues can greatly impact patient outcomes."}
