@drwilloughjenkins: There have ABSOLUTELY been diseases to explain mental illness found in this century. This is not true. I dont normally clap back but - (after a new album listen I was ready to go) - autoimmune brain disorders are an interest of mine and something i wish more people knew about. #psychiatrist #autoimmunedisease #MentalHealthAwareness #chronicillnessawareness #torturedpoetsdepartment #greenscreen
Brain on Fire was an excellent book. My mom has numerous mental health issues, and her psychiatrist said it was at least partially related to Crohn's. Steroid use also contributes.

When my Mast Cell disease kicked in full gear I have hallucinations, delusions, I see shadow people and panic attacks. When it’s under control and I’m not flaring, my personality is entirely different

as a neuropsych grad student, I can’t believe they pub this. Why would symptom severity cause neuroprgression then? What about hyper/hypo activity in reward related neurocircuity in studies?

No mental illness has been EXPLAINED by brain disease. What is the origin of mental illness - is it internal (genetic/bioligcal disease) or is external (environment, survival) ?

That doesn’t change that there are still a lot of indecrepencies in the field. There are still a lot of problems in pychatry on a systemic level. Lack of empathy, overprescribing, generalizations
