Schizophrenia (SZ) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are two devastating disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) that present clinically with cognitive impairments and psychotic symptoms PubMed:24511233
Conversely, the most commonly associated symptoms of AD are cognitive in nature and include deficits in learning and memory. However, 50%–80% of AD patients display psychotic and behavioral disturbances that are correlated with poor social and functional outcomes PubMed:24511233
AD is the most commonly diagnosed form of dementia and currently affects approximately 35 million individuals worldwide.7 AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by a host of cognitive deficits, including impairments in learning and memory. In addition to the well-documented cognitive impairments, AD patients also display behavioral disturbances, including anxiety, depression, and psychosis PubMed:24511233

M4 mAChR is mainly expressed in the corpus striatum in the CNS and on various prejunctional nerve terminals in the periphery. M4 mAChR has been suggested to play a role in psychosis and to be a promising target for the treatment of schizophrenia[52]. Indeed, the mixed M1/M4 mAChR agonist xanomeline has antipsychotic effects, and M4 mAChR-knockout mice display increased sensitivity to the disruptive effects of phencyclidine, a drug of abuse PubMed:24590577

Interestingly, levels of RIC-3 mRNA are elevat- ed in postmortem brains of individuals with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia [181], and a link has been suggested between defi- cient RIC-3 mediated chaperoning of an AChR subunit and individ- uals with bipolar disorder and psychotic symptoms [181].

These pieces of evidence corroborate findings showing that several autophagy inducers, such as lithium, rapamycin, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved antipsychotic drugs are effective to treat psychosis including schizophrenia PubMed:30061532
Likewise, rapamycin was found to be beneficial for ameliorating psychotic symptoms PubMed:30061532

In addition, the occurrence of alpha synuclein gene (SNCA) polymorphisms is associated with human METH psychosis [166]. PubMed:30061532
Remarkably, a very recent neuropathological examination provided evidence for TDP-43-positive cytosolic inclusions and dystrophic neurites in the brain of a patient diagnosed with FTLD presenting brief psychotic episodes and catatonia, which is a syndrome related to schizophrenia PubMed:30061532
In humans, the sensitizing effects of prolonged chronic METH intake are considered a major determinant to the occurrence and relapse of psychoses, which mirror those occurring in schizophrenic patients PubMed:30061532
