Immunotherapy could treat some psychiatric syndromes
Update: 2025-09-05
Description
When a person is suffering with psychiatric symptoms we don’t typically look to the immune system for clues.
But a study suggests that in a subset of young people an autoimmune issue could be at play – although the exact mechanisms are unclear.
While it was a small sample size, a majority of the study participants saw improvements when they received tailored immunotherapy.
