Discipline: | Psychiatry | Subject Definition: | Mental Disorders-Prevention & Control | NLM Class: | WM 140 | LC Class: | RA790 | Abstract: | This book addresses issues that are critical precursors to the prevention of mental disorders and offers an understanding of factors that contribute to the disorders' development. The contributors review genetic methodologies and current findings in mental disorders, with an emphasis on schizophrenia, and then show how biological and psychosocial environmental variables may affect vulnerability. Chapters devoted specifically to lessons in prevention drawn from recent research into schizophrenia discuss the implications of prodromal studies and relationships between stress, critical periods, and the development of the disorder. The book includes contributions from NIH representatives on how basic scientific understanding of mental disorders can be translated into public policy. It also features chapters that describe cutting-edge projects in prevention research for Alzheimer's disease, drug dependence, antisocial behavior, and posttraumatic stress disorder--each providing compelling accounts of how existing knowledge can be adapted to promising prevention efforts. This multidimensional, interdisciplinary work represents a major step toward cutting the social costs of these disorders--and, more important, their untold cost in human suffering. |
