Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Margaret Hahn"
Margaret Hahn's research primarily explores the intersection of mental health, particularly schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and metabolic dysfunction, focusing on the role of the gut microbiome and antipsychotic medications in these conditions.
Her recent studies indicate significant metabolic side effects associated with antipsychotic treatment, including glucose metabolism dysregulation and weight gain, which contribute to medication nonadherence in patients.
Hahn emphasizes the need for better understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms, including the implications of the glymphatic system and lipid metabolism, to inform treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
