Mental IllnessWO

7 Steps

Cause

Step 1

Dermoid ovarian cysts, alsoknown as ovarian teratomas,

form in the ovaries

Step 2

Because they form from undifferentiated(unspecialized) cells, these cysts start to

develop different body tissues

Step 3

Some of the cells in the dermoid cystdevelop into brain cells

Step 4

This triggers an auto-immune response

Step 5

The body's immune system sends outwhite blood cells to attack the teratoma

that is growing in the ovaries

Step 6

And because of the brain cells in

the ovarian cyst, the white blood

cells also attack the brain
