Episode 148: PANDAS/PANS Perspectives with Zack Oates

Today, October 9th, we mark another PANDAS/PANS Awareness Day.

I am pleased to bring you an interview with a young person living with PANDAS that provides a first-hand perspective of living with this disorder. 

Zack Oates is an Occupational Therapy Master's student at Washington University and a graduate of Gonzaga University. His passions are in the areas of mental health and psychology. Though he still struggles, he has found a lot of success working through his symptoms of PANDAS. He hopes to work in the mental health field in the future and wants to share his story to raise awareness for PANDAS/PANS.
