The Gut-Brain Masquerade: How Pediatric Gastrointestinal Disorders Can Mimic, Amplify, and Sustain Psychiatric Symptoms

Anxiety, ADHD, irritability, emotional dysregulation, and treatment-resistant psychiatric symptoms don’t always begin in the brain. For many children, the missing piece may be hiding in the gut. Join Dr. Zendi Moldenhauer as she explores the science of the gut-brain axis and reveals how common gastrointestinal conditions including constipation, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, dysbiosis, SIBO, mast cell activation, and other gut disorders can mimic, amplify, or sustain psychiatric symptoms in children and adolescents. Through clinical cases and practical guidance, you’ll learn how to recognize gastrointestinal red flags, incorporate focused screening into your practice, determine when laboratory evaluation or referral is appropriate, and better identify overlooked biological contributors to complex pediatric mental health presentations.
