Accumulating evidence indicates that stress plays an important role in the development of
psychotic disorders. Recent studies have revealed that patients with first-episode psychosis …

Elevated allostatic load (AL) index, which is a cumulative measure of biological
dysregulations associated with stress exposure, has been demonstrated in patients with …

Current pathophysiological models of schizophrenia suggest that stress contributes to the
etiology and trajectory of the disorder. We investigated if allostatic load (AL), an integrative …

Stress is implicated in the development and course of psychotic illness, but the factors that
influence stress levels are not well understood. The aim of this study was to examine the …

Background The etiopathophysiology of schizophrenia has long been linked to stress and
the influence of stress is important in all stages of the illness. Previous examinations of …

Background Stress plays an important role in the etiology of schizophrenia. However, the
mechanisms by which chronic physiological stress and perceived stress relate to the clinical …

Previous studies have shown that neurodevelopmental characteristics of adverse childhood
experiences (ACEs), such as their accumulation and minimal age at exposure, might …

Background Theoretical models and empirical evidence suggest that alterations of the acute
stress reaction are a vulnerability indicator of psychosis. However, more studies are needed …

Accumulating evidence indicates systemic biological dysregulations in patients with
psychosis that have been conceptualized as the “allostatic load”(AL) index. We aimed to …

Stress exposure leads to the activation of several biological mechanisms that have been
termed allostasis. These processes enable adaptation to novel situations; however; their …
