Psychiatric Prodrome in Anti-NMDAR-Associated Encephalopathy: Clinical and Pathophysiologic Considerations.

Conclusions: In addition to the better-known psychotic prodrome, depressive symptomatology can occur in ANMDARE patients. ANMDARE should be considered in patients with initial presentation of either psychotic or atypical depressive illnesses. Early recognition of these psychiatric prodromal states as antecedents to ANMDARE could lead to improved diagnosis and better management of this potentially life-threatening autoimmune disorder.
