What is Autoimmune Encephalitis and Mental Health about?
Autoimmune encephalitis can present with psychiatric symptoms such as psychosis, delirium, and altered mental states. Two of the most common autoimmune causes are related to NMDA receptor and voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies. Psychiatrists should be aware of potential autoimmune etiologies and look for "red flags" like seizures, autonomic instability, and sensitivity to antipsychotics to consider testing and treating for autoimmune encephalitis.
