Increased evidence suggests Schizophrenia may be neurodegenerative. A new study shows the aging communication between two important parts of the brain. This miscommunication between the frontoparietal network, which serves to decode spatial and non-spatial information, and the cingulo-opercular network, deteriorates more quickly when psychosis is introduced.

According to a new study from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, doctors can now treat negative symptoms directly, this is something traditional antipsychotic treatment (which treats only positive symptoms) has never been able to do.

A recently published study suggests a strikingly high mortality rate for people schizophrenia, epilepsy, or the combination of both illnesses. Many of whom died between 25 and 50.

If a bone marrow transplant can cure or induce psychosis, naturally, the immune system must play a role in the development and symptomology of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, as bone marrow transplants essentially reboot a person’s immune system.
