Brain Chemistry

Histamine

Histamine is an important brain chemical and is involved in all sorts of reactions including those of pain, allergies, mucus and saliva production, causing tears to flow and other body secretions. This area of the brain is responsible for behavioural responses, filtering incoming sensory information, and communicating with the hypothalamus. Research has determined that people with schizophrenia have a poor ability to filter incoming sensory information. It has also been reported that 15-20 % of people with schizophrenia have high whole blood histamine levels and another 30-40 % of people with schizophrenia have low whole blood histamine levels.

Low Histamine: Termed histapenic, the patient is not only low on histamine but also often has a tendency to accumulate excessive amounts of copper. Thus both histamine depletion and copper excess may produce behavioural abnormalities.
 
High Histamine: Termed histadelia, histamine speeds up metabolism, providing more heat. Histamine causes allergic reactions, increased production of mucus and saliva, a tendency to hyperactivity, compulsive behaviour and depression. Histadelia usually runs in families with the onset at around 20 years of age. A family history of depression and allergies is a strong indication of possible histadelia.
