AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Anorexia and bulimia may be autoimmune diseasesand so may several other psychiatric illnesses.
Sometimes, the immune system works in mysterious ways. During an infection, one of its roles is to produce
antibodies designed to attack and eliminate the invading bugs. However, in certain unlucky individuals the
body also develops so-called auto-antibodies which attack its own tissue, sometimes with devastating effects.
The result is known as an autoimmune disease, two well-known examples of which are type-1 diabetes and
multiple sclerosis. But there is a widespread suspicion among researchers that a lot more diseases have an
autoimmune component. In particular, they think, a number of illnesses usually labelled as psychiatric are at
bottom the result of autoimmunity.
Until now, that suspicion has been based on correlations between certain sorts of infection and certain sets
of psychiatric symptoms. But work just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by
Serguei Fetissov of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and his colleagues has shown the connection more
tightly for two psychiatric eating disordersanorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
