Whenever I watch horror ghost movies, I always think the characters may have schizophrenia. If Covid-19 had occurred a generation or two earlier, I might have thought that the schizophrenia character‘s mother caught Covid during pregnancy.
This idea struck me when a commenter on my previous article shared a new study, showing that schizophrenia-specific genes upregulated in pregnant mothers with Covid-19 vs. no Covid. This study isn’t to be taken lightly. It was published in a prestigious journal, Nature Communications, led by world-renowned scientists in the schizophrenia research field.
