Genetic Data Suggest How Immune Abnormalities May Help Cause Psychiatric Illness, Across Multiple Disorders
Researchers found that DNA variations associated with increased risk for multiple psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, and autism, are capable of driving immune system abnormalities observed in these illnesses. This could be one common causal factor spanning disorders.

It’s been almost 3 months since your last post. Welcome back.
There are so many theories out there. I’ve also read it’s due to our gut bacteria.
I stick to 80% genetics. 20% nurture. And meds help if you have symptoms,
yeah. they say 3 brains: the head, the heart, and the gut.
Mental illness, immune system, diet and metabolism are linked. Check celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
yeah, maybe. thanks. I’ve always had good diet, especially when pregnant, a few years before I was diagnosed.
just wanted to add one more thing to this post and convo,
imo, there’s a 4th brain: your hands.
some are very skilled in jobs or arts,
it takes training.
Hi @Daze missed you
There’s a fifth brain in my pants.
It’s called the “little head” for a reason.
Does glucose play a role?
Imagine 4th and 5th brain together 
. You forget about first three.
The fifth brain has limited storage and the fourth brain was busy with a camera.
Maybe it does. Glucose triggers insulin response. Insulin has various functions not just converting excess glucose into fats. Alzheimer’s is being considered type 3 diabetes.
PCOS and infertility is sometimes associated with insulin resistance.
yeah
it is thought from too along ago that mental illness caused by DNA and DNA cause some ppl to be high risk to get scz
and we all know we have relatives who had scz
Nice to see you @Daze .
