This book presents a thorough and critical review of current
knowledge on the role of immunology in major psychiatric disorders
and its potential applications. The opening chapters offer general
information on the immune influence of the brain to provide readers
with a better understanding of the end of immune privilege. The
book then examines possible underlying mechanisms leading to
psychiatric disorders, from early infections to pro-inflammatory
markers, stress, and immune genetic background, linking etiology
and psychiatry. The third section describes each disorder (ie
autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression...) with an
overview of underlying immune dysfunctions. Lastly, the authors
discuss the innovative immune-therapies that may result from the
discovery of immune system biomarkers and their associated
mechanisms. A better understanding of the role of the immune system
in psychiatric disorders makes it possible to identify
stratification biomarkers, to explain underlying mechanisms, and to
develop innovative, efficient, targeted treatment strategies and
management. As such, the book is of value to clinicians, mental
health professionals, mental health researchers, immunologists,
industry practitioners, and various stakeholders in the mental
health field.
