What is our Patient Population?

Our program focuses on youth with neuropsychiatric presentations of immune disorders. Our clinic, located in Menlo Park, is comprised of psychiatrists, psychologists, rheumatologists (inflammation detectives), immunologists, therapists, who serve youth with sudden onset of obsessions/compulsions, food restriction, depression, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, POTS, and cognitive difficulties. The goal of our research is to discover how infections and immune system impact brain health
