In reply to flu shot causing emotional symptoms?, posted by linkadge on November 13, 2012, at 14:49:52
> Its a four days after I got the flu shot. Over the past 4 days I have lapsed into a suicidal mess (don't worry no risk). Sudden insomnia, crying and extreme emotional reactivity. Could this be related to the flu shot? I don't know what else has changed.

If the flu shot triggers the immune system (which it does), brain inflammation *might* be a consequence of the release of cytokines. This could produce psychiatric effects similar to that which is seen with the administration of interferon.
