Just finished reading Brain on Fire about a girl who suffered from anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. This disease replicates symptoms from other diseases like schizophrenia, Bi-polar disorder and depression.

And those working on learning more about this disease believe that those suffering from the other diseases may in fact have anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. Fully treatable without a life time of drug to take.
