🧠Your Immune System Can “Attack” Your Own Brain
A rare condition called Autoimmune encephalitis causes the body’s immune system to mistakenly attack healthy brain cells.
What makes this especially unusual is how it shows up:
- It can mimic mental illness (anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations)
- Some patients are initially misdiagnosed with psychiatric disorders
- It can progress rapidly without proper treatment
Early diagnosis is critical because, unlike many neurological conditions, it can often be treated effectively if caught in time.
