The accidental discovery that anti-inflammatory drugs can help treat mental illness has opened up a new field of research which experts are calling a "paradigm shift".

SIMON LAUDER: Are anti-inflammatories being used in treatments at the moment?

BRIAN DEAN: They're not, no. I think the important thing here is all the studies that have been done at present are proof of principle studies. They've shown that the concept works. We still don't have the drugs that allow us to get this really strong, therapeutic benefit in the absence of any unwanted side effects.
