The Disease That Makes Your Body Attack Your Brain! | Dr. Oz | S9 | Ep 35 | Full Episode
In this episode, Dr. Oz investigates a mysterious and terrifying illness that causes the body to attack the brain. The episode follows the story of Emily Gavigan, a 19-year-old college student whose life changed overnight. What began as a simple headache led to confusion, speech loss, and misdiagnoses of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and multiple sclerosis. After nearly a year of treatments with no progress, doctors finally uncovered the truth — Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis, a rare autoimmune disease that mimics severe psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Emily joins Dr. Oz to share her journey to diagnosis and recovery, helping raise awareness so others can recognize the early warning signs.
Also in this episode, Katherine Schwarzenegger opens up about personal insecurities, life in the public eye, and her advocacy for pet adoption. Plus, fitness icons Gabrielle Reece and Laird Hamilton reveal how to fix common sleep problems and share their top tips for better rest.
