An amazing story is told in this New Yorker article about a woman, Mary, who recovered from schizophrenia when treatment for cancer caused her psychosis to go away. It turned out that Mary had an autoimmune disorder that was causing the schizophrenia. Mary's case has not been the only one for which treatment for an autoimmune disorder has caused their schizophrenia to go away.
People with schizophrenia are now being tested for autoimmune disorders for possible treatments that would address the disorders and therefore eliminate the schizophrenia!
