    World Encephalitis Day 2019 (Friday 22 February) is a global awareness day which aims to increase awareness about the condition and highlight the true extent of how debilitating it can be for patients.

    Encephalitis can affect anyone, striking adults and children alike, and does not discriminate between age, gender, or ethnicity.

    Now, ground breaking research from the University of Oxford, published in The Lancet Psychiatry has discovered a way of identifying the signs of NMDAR-Antibody Encephalitis, one cause of the condition.

    To tell us more we were joined by Phillippa Chapman, from The Encephalitis Society.
