POTS : An Invisible Illness | Full Movie

Video Description

FULL MOVIE — “POTS: An Invisible Illness” This mini-documentary, directed by Stiry, explores the profound challenges faced by individuals living with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and the hurdles they encounter within the U.S. healthcare system. Through compelling personal narratives, the film illuminates daily struggles, common misconceptions, and the often-overlooked nature of this complex condition. Expert physicians (2024 POTS and Beyond CME faculty) from leading institutions—including Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, University of Utah, Children’s National Hospital, Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Kennedy Krieger Institute, and Granger Medical Clinic—underscore the need for greater awareness and understanding. They highlight how POTS can drastically affect quality of life despite the absence of outward symptoms, and how a physician’s belief, approach, and treatment can profoundly influence patient outcomes. 🙏 Please Donate https://donorbox.org/PCARES 👉👉👉 Support PCARES: Help Us Transform Primary Care for Children With POTS If you were moved by POTS: An Invisible Illness , we invite you to join us in changing the future of care for children and young adults living with autonomic disorders. PCARES (Pediatric Care for Autonomic Research, Education & Solutions) is a physician-led nonprofit organization dedicated to developing evidence-based educational content, clinical tools, and original research specifically for primary care physicians and pediatricians. ❤️ 2025 POTS and Beyond : Patient Care Conference (https://reg.eventmobi.com/2025-pots-and-beyond) — held November 21-22,2025 is an example of CME developed in partnership with University of Utah Department of Neurology and the Utah Medical Association Foundation. Most patients with POTS first seek help from their pediatrician or family medicine—but too often their doctors lack the training, resources, and validated tools to diagnose and treat these conditions early. There are not enough specialist to see all the patients and we need primary care doctors to learn. To change that, we are launching our first major research initiative, focused on improving pediatric healthcare delivery for POTS and creating practical, frontline assessment tools for clinicians across the country. This will directly contribute to our effort to create HIGH QUALITY education content for primary care doctors. Our efforts will help adults with POTS as well. **We are raising $500,000 to fund this original research grant.
