It is worth noting that Multiple Sclerosis is another illness where it seems the brain is involved, just like serious mental illnesses (SMI) is rooted in  our brains.  Perhaps scientific research is already being conducted on this connection. I have always wished that current scientific researches could be made public so the we can know just what  scientists  are searching for--like answers to the still-non-curable diseases that ruin the lives of our loved ones.      

Like SMI, MS is still not fully understood. Perhaps we could fund scientific research into all these brain- involved diseases and find cures to eliminate decades-old medical curses of humanity.
