Education and mental disorders.

TL;DR: The relationship between education and mental disorder has fairly seldom been analysed in empirical studies and further studies are needed, as is an integration of educational policies in the prevention and care of mental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

A longitudinal investigation of childhood communication ability and adolescent psychotic experiences in a community sample.

TL;DR: Deficits in pragmatic language precede early and late adolescent psychotic experiences and early adolescent depression and interventions aimed at helping children improve pragmatic language skills may reduce the incidence of adolescent psychopathology and associated psychological disorder and dysfunction later in life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perinatal dioxin exposure and neurodevelopment of 2-year-old Vietnamese children in the most contaminated area from Agent Orange in Vietnam.

TL;DR: It is suggested that perinatal exposure of TCDD and other PCDD congeners affects development of language and gross motor skills, respectively, in boys at 2 years of age exposed to dioxins originating from Agent Orange in Vietnam.
Dissertation

The association between stress, psychological well-being and bullying in a Britain and Trinidad adolescent population

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between stress and subclinical psychotic experiences (SPEs) and found that adolescents with high levels of depression and anxiety are at an increased risk of decline in peer relations and reduce academic achievement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secondary prevention of schizophrenia: utility of standardized scholastic tests in early identification.

TL;DR: Combining ITBS/ITED scores with other risk factors, such as family history, may lead to more efficient early detection of schizophrenia, and illustrate the challenges facing the secondary prevention of schizophrenia.

Implications of normal brain development for the pathogenesis of schizophrenia

TL;DR: The findings suggest that nonspecific histopathology exists in the limbic system, diencephalon, and prefrontal cortex, that the pathology occurs early in development, and that the causative process is inactive long before the diagnosis is made.
Book

The strategy of preventive medicine

Geoffrey Rose
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the relation of risk to exposure, prevention for individuals and the 'high-risk' strategy, and the population strategy of prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult Schizophrenia Following Prenatal Exposure to an Influenza Epidemic

TL;DR: It is suggested that it is less the type than the timing of the disturbance during fetal neural development that is critical in determining risk for schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anatomical abnormalities in the brains of monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that subtle abnormalities of cerebral anatomy (namely, small anterior hippocampi and enlarged lateral and third ventricles) are consistent neuropathologic features of schizophrenia and that their cause is at least in part not genetic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is schizophrenia a neurodevelopmental disorder

Robin M. Murray, +1 more
- 19 Sep 1987 - 
TL;DR: Much research implicates the left rather than the right cerebral hemisphere in schizophrenia, and there is evidence that schizophrenics are more likely to be left handed than controls, and the normal development of lateralised cerebral dominance can be disrupted by premature birth with a resultant increase in left handedness.
