About Susanne Bejerot

Research area: Immunopsychiatry

Susanne Bejerot is Professor Emerita of Psychiatry, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist in Region Örebro County, and a licensed cognitive psychotherapist. Her research is primarily clinical and has over the years focused on symptom assessment and treatment of individuals with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS and PANDAS), ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (with or without intellectual disability), and psychotic disorders. She has also conducted research in psychiatric comorbidity, vitamin D deficiency, oral health, gender identity aspects, joint hypermobility in relation to psychiatric symptoms, bullying and its association with gross motor function, psychiatric rating scales, and diagnostic methods.

Professor Bejerot has worked for many years on the development and refinement of psychiatric assessment instruments to support diagnostic evaluation. Instruments she has developed include the BOCS, RAADS-14 Screen, and Five to Fifteen-Brief. She has also developed the PsychoNeuroInflammatory related Signs and Symptoms Inventory (PNISSI), intended to facilitate clinical assessment of complex psychiatric conditions such as PANS.

In 2022, she completed a study in which severely affected psychiatric patients with either schizophrenia or obsessive–compulsive disorder were treated with the immunomodulatory drug Rituximab, a medication commonly used in severe rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Between 2023 and 2026, the RCT-RITS study was conducted, in which 123 patients with psychotic disorders were treated with rituximab or placebo. Results are expected to be published in 2027. The study was funded by the Swedish Research Council, the Torsten Söderström Foundation, and the Swedish Brain Foundation.

A three-year follow-up treatment study (RITS-LONG) is currently being planned for participants from the RCT-Rits trial, offering open-label treatment with rituximab for up to three years. This study will be led by Associate Professor Axel Nordenskjöld.

Susanne Bejerot’s professional goal has consistently been to conduct clinically grounded research for underserved patient groups with lifelong functional impairments and substantial care needs. Her ambition is to collaborate with other researchers to identify biological markers in blood or other body fluids and to develop novel treatment approaches—particularly immunological therapies—for severe mental illness.
