Inflammatory brain disease may initially present as a mental health change. Prompt diagnosis and treatment improves patient outcomes. Thus, it is paramount that psychiatrists and other mental health providers caring for infants, children, and adolescents understand and recognize pediatric inflammatory brain diseases. Their clinical presentations vary with the underlying etiology and region of brain inflammation. Once suspected, a thorough medical workup should be pursued to properly classify disease. Child psychiatrists should help create an interdisciplinary team to ensure comprehensive evaluation and coordinated treatment of both the neuropsychiatric symptoms and the underlying inflammatory disorder.
