Schizophrenia could be treated with cheap, accessible anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, according to new research.

 

The study, published on Friday in the American Journal of Psychiatry, concluded that patients suffering from schizophrenia showed high levels of inflammation in their brains They also discovered that people with other markers for a heightened risk of schizophrenia were likely to have higher-than-normal inflammation levels.

 

The findings suggest that, if detected early enough through brain scans, schizophrenia could potentially be prevented or at least mitigated in at-risk patients using simple anti-inflammatory drugs.
