Anti-NMDAR encephalitis, an autoimmune disorder, is often misdiagnosed as schizophrenia due to overlapping psychiatric symptoms. It is caused by IgG antibodies targeting the NMDA receptor, leading to NMDA hypofunction and dopaminergic overactivity. Diagnosis requires CSF testing, and treatment includes tumor removal (if applicable) and immunotherapy. Prompt diagnosis and treatment improve prognosis.
