Comment from the contributor:

From Schizophrenia.com -- This blog deals with all types of issues regarding schizophrenia. Daily updates can be expected and comments may be added. Helpful links are shared and people can communicate about their issues and concerns with schizophrenia.

“ Professor Bahn says, "We suspect people with many mental illnesses may have problems transporting glucose across the blood-brain barrier and we are working on medication which can correct this."Please note that this possible issue of brain glucose metabolism does not seem to be related to the diabetes and general blood glucose problems associated with antipsychotic medications that are currently used on the market. ”
