Another aspect of this is that high levels of IL 17 can cause mania in bipolar patients.

I do not know why doctors are so hesitant to link the immune system and mood disorders. I have schizoaffective disorder and I see this expressing myself every time. For example, when I caught Covid, I had one of the worst psychotic episodes in my life. None of my doctors really cared about this important correlation.

And I will scream this from the rooftops for as long as I can; mood disorders are immune disorders.
