Journal ArticleDOI
The environment and susceptibility to schizophrenia.
TL;DR: The study of environmental factors in schizophrenia may have important implications for the identification of causes and prevention of this disorder, and offers the potential to complement, and refine, existing efforts on explanatory neurodevelopmental models.
Journal ArticleDOI
The small world of psychopathology.
Denny Borsboom,Angélique O. J. Cramer,Verena D. Schmittmann,Sacha Epskamp,Lourens J. Waldorp +4 more
TL;DR: In the network model, mental disorders are inherently complex, which explains the limited successes of genetic, neuroscientific, and etiological approaches to unravel their causes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, comorbidity, and service utilization for mood disorders in the United States at the beginning of the twenty-first century
TL;DR: The results of recent community epidemiological research are reviewed, documenting that major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent, persistent, and often seriously impairing disorder, and that bipolar disorder (BPD) is less prevalent but more persistent and more impairing than MDD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proceeding From Observed Correlation to Causal Inference: The Use of Natural Experiments
TL;DR: Fifteen possible types of natural experiments that may be used to test causal inferences with respect to naturally occurring prior causes (rather than planned interventions) are described and it is concluded that, taken in conjunction, natural experiments can be very helpful in both strengthening and weakening causalinferences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal Nutritional Deficiency and Risk of Adult Schizophrenia
Alan S. Brown,Ezra Susser +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence supporting in utero exposure to nutritional deficiency as a determinant of schizophrenia is reviewed and several strategies for subjecting the prenatal nutritional hypothesis of schizophrenia to further testing are discussed.
