What If Schizophrenia Does Not Have a Singular Cause?
Briefly

Research indicates that schizophrenia may involve multiple underlying causes, rather than a singular etiology. Treating psychotic symptoms with antibody suppressants has shown efficacy in select cases. Notable examples include patients with schizophrenia who also suffered from autoimmune conditions, where immunotherapy led to remission of psychotic symptoms. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for Precision Psychiatry and Mental Health is pioneering studies that integrate insights from biology and medicine to advance therapeutic approaches for schizophrenia and related disorders, recognizing the complexity of these conditions.
The relationship between neurology, medicine, and psychiatry can yield findings that may benefit specific sub-populations of psychotically disordered individuals, indicating multiple underlying causes of schizophrenia.
Immunotherapy has shown promise in treating psychotic symptoms associated with autoimmune disorders, as evidenced by cases where individuals experienced remission after antibody suppression.
