Theresa, a skilled pediatric nurse practitioner, focuses on treating Lyme Disease, along with its related complications, using a combination of functional medicine and advanced clinical practices.
Lyme Disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is transmitted through tick bites. It can lead to a range of physical and neurological symptoms that vary from person to person. Common symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, headaches, and cognitive difficulties, which can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life.
In some cases, Lyme Disease can present with neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as mood swings, memory problems, or changes in behavior and personality. These symptoms can often be mistaken for other psychiatric disorders, making accurate diagnosis and treatment essential.
Treatment typically includes antibiotic therapy to address the bacterial infection, combined with supportive therapies to manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
In addition to medical treatment, we recognize the importance of a holistic approach to care. This may include nutritional guidance, lifestyle modifications, and mental health support to address the broader impacts of Lyme Disease. Our goal is to not only treat the infection but also to support the individual's journey to recovery, addressing both physical and mental health needs.
Theresa Disipio's expertise in Lyme Disease and its neuropsychiatric manifestations ensures that our patients receive tailored, compassionate, and effective care. At Mind Align Psychiatry, under the leadership of Dr. David Danish, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive treatment experience, blending traditional medical approaches with functional medicine to offer the best possible care for those affected by Lyme Disease.
