Child psychosis is often caused by bacteria

Psychiatric conditions could be caused by bacteria and viruses, according to Trinity Professor Luke O’Neill.

, Prof O’Neill said children often present with psychiatric problems, but it is actually an infection.

“Streptococci are a very important type of bacteria,” he said. “People have worked on them for donkey's years. “The trouble is many children aren't so lucky because they get diagnosed with mental illness or psychosis,” Prof O’Neill explained.“Amazingly, a survey was done, and many doctors aren't aware of the diseases - half of all paediatricians weren’t aware of it, nearly one in five parents said their paediatrician failed to give them a diagnosis.Prof O’Neill noted that thankfully science is advancing, and more people are aware of PANDAS.
