LOWRY: There are
certain psychiatric disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, and depression that seem to be associated with increased inflammation, a ramped - up immune response in the body and in the brain.
WASHINGTON, July 1 (UPI)-- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says it's approved the first generic versions of Risperdal tablets
for certain psychiatric disorders.
A better understanding of these cells could eventually help explain how both seizures and
certain psychiatric disorders can occur at the same time.
«
Certain psychiatric disorders can be related to alterations in the function of the prefrontal cortex and to changes in the activity of the brain chemical dopamine,» says Cecilia Flores, senior author on the study and professor at McGill's Department of Psychiatry, «Prefrontal cortex wiring continues to develop into early adulthood, although the mechanisms were, until now, entirely unknown.»
It's compelling evidence for the long - proposed link between the immune system and
certain psychiatric disorders.
Research has shown that the immune system is linked to
certain psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
