IOCDF Special Interest Group
The PANS, PANDAS, and Immune-Mediated OCD Special Interest Group (SIG) is dedicated to increasing awareness and clinical understanding of PANS, PANDAS, and immune-related OCD within the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) community. This SIG brings together clinicians, researchers, and individuals with lived experience to discuss emerging research, treatment considerations, and adaptations to evidence-based care such as CBT with ERP. The group aims to foster collaboration, improve care approaches, and reduce isolation for individuals and families affected by these conditions.
