Journal ArticleDOI
How does the brain deal with cumulative stress? A review with focus on developmental stress, HPA axis function and hippocampal structure in humans
TL;DR: It is concluded that a model integrating childhood maltreatment, cortisol abnormalities and hippocampal volume may need to take other factors into account, such as temperament, genetics or the presence of depression, to provide a cohesive explanation of all the findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antipsychotic drugs: a new risk factor for osteoporosis in young women with schizophrenia?
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the high rates of osteoporosis associated with schizophrenia may result from hypogonadism secondary to antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia, and that the prolactin-raising profile of antipsychotics drugs should be considered when choosing an antipsychosis drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antenatal depression predicts depression in adolescent offspring: prospective longitudinal community-based study.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors traced the course of maternal depression through pregnancy, the postnatal period and the following 16 years in relation to adolescent offspring depression, and found that the risk of depression for the 16-year-olds exposed to antenatal depression was 4.7 times greater than for offspring not so exposed.
