Furthermore, problems with producing or using glutamate have been suggestively and tentatively linked to many mental disorders, including [[autism]], [[obsessive–compulsive disorder]] (OCD), [[schizophrenia]], and [[major depressive disorder|depression]].<ref name="NIH Brain Basics">{{cite web |title=NIMH Brain Basics |url=http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/educational-resources/brain-basics/brain-basics.shtml |publisher=[[U.S. National Institutes of Health]] |access-date=29 October 2014 |archive-date=29 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141029234833/http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/educational-resources/brain-basics/brain-basics.shtml |url-status=dead }}</ref> Having too much glutamate has been linked to neurological diseases such as [[Parkinson's disease]], [[multiple sclerosis]], [[Alzheimer's disease]], [[stroke]], and [[Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis|ALS]] (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Bittigau P, Ikonomidou C | title = Glutamate in neurologic diseases | journal = Journal of Child Neurology | volume = 12 | issue = 8 | pages = 471–85 | date = November 1997 | pmid = 9430311 | doi = 10.1177/088307389701200802 | s2cid = 1258390 }}</ref>
