Journal ArticleDOI
Race/ethnic differences in exposure to traumatic events, development of post-traumatic stress disorder, and treatment-seeking for post-traumatic stress disorder in the United States.
TL;DR: When PTSD affects US race/ethnic minorities, it is usually untreated, and large disparities in treatment indicate a need for investment in accessible and culturally sensitive treatment options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Childhood IQ and Adult Mental Disorders: A Test of the Cognitive Reserve Hypothesis
Karestan C. Koenen,Terrie E. Moffitt,Andrea L. Roberts,Laurie T. Martin,Laura D. Kubzansky,HonaLee Harrington,Richie Poulton,Avshalom Caspi +7 more
TL;DR: Lower cognitive reserve, as reflected by childhood IQ, is an antecedent of several common psychiatric disorders and also predicts persistence and comorbidity; many patients who seek mental health treatment may have lower cognitive ability; this should be considered in prevention and treatment planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Largest GWAS of PTSD (N=20 070) yields genetic overlap with schizophrenia and sex differences in heritability

TL;DR: The results demonstrate genetic influences on the development of PTSD, identify shared genetic risk between PTSD and other psychiatric disorders and highlight the importance of multiethnic/racial samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pervasive trauma exposure among US sexual orientation minority adults and risk of posttraumatic stress disorder.
Andrea L. Roberts,S. Bryn Austin,Heather L. Corliss,Ashley K. Vandermorris,Karestan C. Koenen +4 more
TL;DR: Profound sexual orientation disparities exist in risk of PTSD and in violence exposure, beginning in childhood, and there is an urgent need for public health interventions aimed at preventing violence against individuals with minority sexual orientations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A GWAS from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium is reported in which two risk loci in European ancestry and one locus in African ancestry individuals are identified and it is found that PTSD is genetically correlated with several other psychiatric traits.
