Reluctant to diagnose Lyme Disease?

Disturbing twists occur in the debate over how Terry Joe Sedlacek's behavior was affected by his Lyme Disease. Sedlacek is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Pastor Fred Winters at First Baptist Church in Maryville, Illinois and has apparently Lyme-Disease-related brain damage and behavior problems.

"There are a lot of physicians who are reluctant to diagnose Lyme disease," said Dr. Daniel Cameron, president of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society. "They don't want to get involved in something that has psychiatric and medical issues."
