The neuropsychiatric impact of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses
On this episode of The Trauma Therapist Podcast’s Guest Host Series, Christina sits down with Robert C. Bransfield, MD—a board-certified psychiatrist and Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association—on the neuropsychiatric impact of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.
In this conversation, we discuss the complex relationship between chronic illness and mental health, including how infections such as Lyme disease can affect mood, cognition, behavior, and nervous system functioning. We also explore the importance of integrative and trauma-informed approaches when supporting individuals living with medically complex conditions.
