      abstract = {This book presents a thorough and critical review of  current knowledge on the role of immunology in major  psychiatric disorders and its potential applications. The  opening chapters offer general information on the immune  influence of the brain to provide readers with a better  understanding of the end of immune privilege. The book then  examines possible underlying mechanisms leading to  psychiatric disorders, from early infections to  pro-inflammatory markers, stress, and immune genetic  background, linking etiology and psychiatry. The third  section describes each disorder (ie autism, schizophrenia,  bipolar disorder, depression & with an overview of  underlying immune dysfunctions. Lastly, the authors discuss  the innovative immune-therapies that may result from the  discovery of immune system biomarkers and their associated  mechanisms. A better understanding of the role of the  immune system in psychiatric disorders makes it possible to  identify stratification biomarkers, to explain underlying  mechanisms, and to develop innovative, efficient, targeted  treatment strategies and management. As such, the book is  of value to clinicians, mental health professionals, mental  health researchers, immunologists, industry practitioners,  and various stakeholders in the mental health field.},
