Stress and neurodevelopmental processes in the emergence of psychosis

Highlights ► We review the evidence supporting associations between psychosocial stress and psychosis. ► We discuss the possible role of biological stress systems, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, in the etiology of psychosis. ► We review the findings of structural and fun...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► We review the evidence supporting associations between psychosocial stress and psychosis. ► We discuss the possible role of biological stress systems, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, in the etiology of psychosis. ► We review the findings of structural and functional brain abnormalities associated with psychosis. ► We posit potential neural mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis of psychotic disorders.
