A member asked:
For some one diagnosed with schizophrenia, is it a good idea to have that person tested for anti-nmda receptor encephalitis to rule out the root cause of psychosis or psychotic features of the illness?

It is best left up to the treating MD for he/she knows the pt. best. You can bring it up when you see the MD next
