Rx Lyme has released a new report exploring the link between Lyme disease and psychiatric disorders.
-- Although many are aware of the risks of contracting Lyme disease, its potential impact on neurological health is often overlooked. Rx Lyme’s latest article offers insight into how to recognize the psychiatric effects of the disease and the treatment options available to manage these symptoms.

Lyme disease is caused by an infection with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which can infiltrate the nervous system and trigger various psychiatric issues. Because these symptoms typically mimic those of mental health conditions like bipolar disorder, diagnosing the disease can be especially difficult.
Rx Lyme’s report highlights the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment to prevent the progression of dangerous psychiatric manifestations. It recommends those who may have been exposed to a tick bite to watch for early symptoms such as fatigue, chills, and fever.
If Lyme disease remains untreated for several months or years after the initial infection, it can cause neuroinflammation in the brain or spinal cord. This disruption of neurological function may result in psychiatric symptoms—including anxiety, depression, mood swings, and cognitive impairments—that resemble those seen in bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
This symptom overlap, as well as the lack of awareness surrounding Lyme disease’s neurological manifestations, may lead many healthcare providers to misdiagnose the condition.
Rx Lyme’s report urges both patients and practitioners to take a holistic approach by considering medical history and potential tick exposure when making a diagnosis. Neuroimaging studies and specialized blood tests may also help ensure an accurate assessment and proper treatment.
An excerpt of the report reads: “Recognizing the signs of Lyme disease and its potential psychiatric manifestations is crucial for timely and effective treatment. If you or a loved one are experiencing unexplained psychiatric symptoms, especially following a tick bite, it’s essential to seek professional medical help.”
The conventional treatment plan for Lyme disease includes a course of oral antibiotics for two to three weeks. If the infection has progressed to its later stages, intravenous treatment may be necessary. To manage the psychiatric symptoms of Lyme disease, patients can consider psychotherapy and lifestyle changes, as well as medications like mood stabilizers, antidepressants, and antipsychotics.
