Stress, the Hippocampus and the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis: Implications for the Development of Psychotic Disorders:
Lisa J. Phillips,Patrick D. McGorry,Belinda Garner,Katherine Thompson,Christos Pantelis,Stephen J. Wood,Gregor Berger +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence supporting a role for HPA-axis dysfunction in the early phase of schizophrenia and related disorders is discussed and some evidence that the onset of psychotic disorders may be associated with a higher rate of stress and changes to the hippocampus is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pituitary Volume Predicts Future Transition to Psychosis in Individuals at Ultra-High Risk of Developing Psychosis
Belinda Garner,Belinda Garner,Carmine M. Pariante,Stephen J. Wood,Dennis Velakoulis,Lisa J. Phillips,Bridget Soulsby,Warrick J. Brewer,Deidre J. Smith,Paola Dazzan,Gregor Berger,Alison R. Yung,Maarten van den Buuse,Robin M. Murray,Patrick D. McGorry,Christos Pantelis +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined pituitary volume before the onset of psychosis in subjects who were at ultra-high risk (UHR) for developing psychosis and found that a larger baseline volume was a significant predictor of future transition to psychosis.
Pituitary volume predicts future transition to psychosis in individuals at ultra-high risk of developing psychosis
Belinda Garner,Belinda Garner,Carmine M. Pariante,Stephen J. Wood,Dennis Velakoulis,Lisa J. Phillips,Bridget Soulsby,Warrick J. Brewer,Deidre J. Smith,Paola Dazzan,Gregor Berger,Alison R. Yung,Maarten van den Buuse,Robin M. Murray,Patrick D. McGorry,Christos Pantelis +15 more
TL;DR: The phase before the onset of psychosis is associated with a larger pituitary volume, suggesting activation of the HPA axis, suggested in subjects who were at ultra-high risk (UHR) for developing psychosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined pharmacotherapy and psychological therapies for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
TL;DR: Not enough evidence is available to support or refute the effectiveness of combined psychological therapy and pharmacotherapy compared to either of these interventions alone, and further large randomised controlled trials are urgently required.
Combined pharmacotherapy and psychological therapies for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of psychological therapy and pharmacotherapy was compared to wait list, placebo, standard treatment or either intervention alone, and there was no strong evidence to show if there were differences between the groups receiving combined interventions compared to the group receiving psychological therapy.
