The enemy in my head - When antibodies attack memory
Until recently, the causes of epilepsy, psychosis, memory impairment and mood swings were often unclear or considered psychosomatic. Treatment was usually limited to symptom relief.

However, in recent years, a growing number of people have been identified in whom faulty immune system regulation causes brain symptoms. Instead of fighting off viruses, so-called autoantibodies suddenly turn against your own body and cause damage to the brain.
If this cause is identified early, immunotherapy can sometimes achieve amazing improvements in symptoms.
Prof. Dr. med. Harald Prüß and Dr. med. Friederike Arlt reports on her clinical experiences in dealing with those affected and their relatives. They explain how modern neuroscientific research continues to discover new autoantibodies and develop innovative forms of therapy. In addition, the question of whether a real cure is possible in these cases is discussed.
