About the Book

A practical, hope-filled roadmap for parents navigating the frightening world of PANS/PANDAS—and finding a path back to healing.

When a healthy, happy child suddenly develops anxiety, obsessive behaviors, rage, tics, food restrictions, depression, or other alarming symptoms seemingly overnight, parents are often left searching for answers that conventional medicine struggles to provide.

For author and practitioner Erin Paige, that search became deeply personal when her own son began exhibiting dramatic behavioral and neurological changes. After years of navigating misdiagnoses, conflicting medical opinions, failed treatments, and the emotional toll of watching her child suffer, she discovered a condition few doctors understood at the time: PANS/PANDAS.

In From Hell to Healed, she combines her family's hard-won experience with more than a decade of supporting thousands of families facing the same battle. This comprehensive guide helps parents recognize symptoms, understand potential triggers, navigate testing and treatment decisions, advocate for their children, and restore hope when it feels impossible to find.

Blending practical advice, patient stories, emerging research, and actionable strategies, From Hell to Healed offers something many families desperately need: a clear roadmap through confusion, fear, and uncertainty—and evidence that recovery is possible. Whether your child has already received a diagnosis or you're still searching for answers, this book provides the tools, encouragement, and direction needed to move from crisis toward healing.

Praise for From Hell to Healed

“This is a treasure chest of helpful information for those who are navigating the world of PANS/PANDAS. I found myself cheering as I read through Erin's chapter on misconceptions as I envisioned so many more children and, let's face it, even adults, realizing this is the reason for their mental, emotional, or behavioral symptoms and, therefore, finally getting help! I always want to shout, 'It's not a psych problem, it's a brain problem!', and just love that Erin is getting this message across so well. What a blessing to humanity."—Teresa Holler, MS, PA-C, fellow of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs 

“From Hell to Healed is the book every parent who has watched a bright, loving child suddenly disappear behind rage, OCD, food refusal, or terror has been waiting for. Erin Paige writes with the hard-won authority of a mother who lived it: dismissed by family, turned away by doctors, and up through the night building the support network that became her lifeline. From that place she has written a compassionate, practical roadmap. Her hierarchy of care, moving from safety to stabilization to foundation to root cause, gives overwhelmed families a clear place to start when everything feels urgent. Her chapters on food, the home environment, parenting through flares, and building the right care team turn chaos into steps you can actually take. The stories she includes from three other families remind readers that no two paths look alike, and that the clue a family needs may be hiding in someone else’s story. Most moving of all is her insistence that caregivers matter too, that a parent’s own health is part of the child’s healing. Honest about the setbacks without ever losing sight of the light ahead, this book offers what desperate parents need most: proof that they are not alone, that their instincts are worth trusting, and that healing is truly possible.”—Mary Parker, MS, LPC-S, clinical director, Infinite Potential
