Lymphoma is treated with Methotrexate. Leucovorin is also commonly prescribed with it as a folate rescue. What's really maddening is that Dr Quaddros wrote an article about schizophrenia and FRAAs and Leucovorin in 2012. Its painful to read how the daughters and husband were cruelly effected by schizophrenia knowing that she possibly just needed to be tested for the presence of fraa and treated with a vitamin

Isn't this the same as the autism - autoimmune disorder?

I work in the field and I think we are really at the beginning of our understanding of the connection between autoimmune issues and mental health. There was a Wash Po article a few years ago about another woman with schizophrenia who was cured when her lupus was controlled. Just like the gut-brain axis research, I think we are going to be seeing a lot of these disorders very differently in the next few decades.

+1. In the meantime I hope patients start pushing for further testing and finding root causes. Chat gpt is your friend here if you ask it for peer reviewed research and input your diagnosis, symptoms and behaviors.

I don't know of any psychiatrists who are using gut brain axis research in their practice

Mental health is a false field - mental health problems are either structural (you are stuck at home with 3 kids all alone - that's going to cause depression) or it is physical (Autoimmune, viral, etc) Hopefully that will be more recognized in the future.

Lmao. Not what scientific research for over 100 years has shown. But we know how you all feel about science.

I love science. Hysteria was a mental illness for 100 years. But you go ahead and think nothing can ever change.

My brother was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia after suddenly becoming aware after many years. he’s taking just a mood stabilizer now. I wonder if he suddenly became better, like Mary in the New Yorker article, because he took meds for gout. Soon after, he has insight into his behavior, and immense regret and depression,
