Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine | Kaplan Lyme Disease Challenge @KaplanCenter | Uploaded May 2017 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
The Kaplan Center takes the #lymediseasechallenge to help raise awareness of this disease – one bite at a time! Today, we challenge YOU to #TAKEABITEOUTOFLYME.
Lyme and other tick-borne diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent. While these diseases typically present with a wide range of symptoms, joint pain being the most common, they have also been associated with a wide range of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and bipolar disease.
The association of Lyme disease with neuropsychiatric disease has been documented since 1994 in the American Journal of Psychiatry and has been confirmed since, but the connection is frequently overlooked in the diagnosis of psychiatric illness. If you are suffering from chronic pain and depression, anxiety or another mental disorder, this diagnosis has to be considered.
