Hepatitis C Found in Brain Lining Linked to Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder

A new study reveals hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the brain lining of people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, suggesting infection may play a role in these psychiatric conditions.

Researchers analyzed postmortem brain samples and found HCV in the choroid plexus — a structure producing cerebrospinal fluid — but not in the brain tissue itself.

This presence correlated with altered gene expression in memory-related brain areas.

Electronic health records confirmed HCV rates in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients were nearly double those in major depression and seven times higher than in healthy controls.

The study challenges the assumption that elevated HCV rates are only due to risky behaviors like drug use.

These findings point to a potential new treatment avenue using antivirals for certain psychiatric patients.

Do you read to relax?
Check this out then:

Do you have books on Kindle through Amazon?
Be aware! This removes any right of ownership by you. I'm so glad I left Amazon so long ago when they started changing over to kindle. This may destroy some of your favorite authors. May I put in a plug to buy real books here?
As of February 26, 2025 you will no longer own any of the books you have bought through Amazon Kindle. You will only be able to view and read them on a paid monthly subscription basis after this date, which Amazon can change book versions you can read, or discontinue your subscriptions for any reason they so design.

If you want to keep what you have purchased, and own currently, download them to a separate computer NOW or you may lose them forever. Or have to continually pay a monthly fee to have access to them or any version they choose to change it to.
To properly own your own purchases, go to:

1. "Manage Your Content and Devices" on the Amazon website
2. Find each book (you must do this for each book individually)
3. Click on "More Actions"
4. Click "Download and Transfer by USB" and that will download the book onto your computer's hard drive.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each book you want to own without a paid monthly subscription.
6. Share this post with a fellow bookworm, tag a friend, or forward this to your favorite book blogger to get the word out to as many people as possible before the 26th! Readers unite!

It's up to you if you want to do this or not.
How do you feel about this as a consumer?
Should Amazon have the power to do this with your books?
I look forward to hearing your comments and what you think about this as an author myself, I don't like it but as a consumer even more I don't like it. But that's my 2 cents for whatever its' worth.

I've just been doing this and hadn't thought to mention it with the big change in weather. But, I haven't been sick and I've heard from a couple of you that everyone you know is under the weather!
