“…Similarly, polymorphism in 5-HT receptor 2a gene is a possible predisposal factor for aggressive traits [62]. These findings are compatible with Cicchetti's finding that developmental outcomes are shaped by complex interactions between environmental characteristics and genes across development [63]. Remarkably, an arrow 15 could be affected by polymorphism of both oxytocin and 5-HT receptor genes, whereas arrows 5, 6, 8, 12 could also be influenced by 5-HT receptor gene polymorphism.…”

This paper assesses hypothesis that sufficient sleep duration and proper circadian rhythms during the early stages of life are indispensable to a successful life. Successful life was defined according to the famous cohort studies of Mischel's and Dunedin. To assess the hypothesis, neuronal elements presumably affecting early daily habits and successful life are reviewed. The effect of sufficient sleep duration and proper circadian rhythms during early stages of life on the development of the prefrontal cortex has been found to be the key issue to verify the hypothesis. Socioeconomic status is found to be another issue to be studied.

“…Infants in the MI group very likely develop enhanced self-righting capacities that may promote the development of resilient functioning (Cicchetti, 2010; Cicchetti & Rogosch, 1997). The normalization of the HPA axis in these youngsters may aid in their ability to perceive threat accurately and to regulate their stress systems so as not to be overly sensitive to adverse experience (Cicchetti & Rogosch, 2007).…”

“…In contrast, infants in the CS group are highly likely not to manifest improvement in their self-righting abilities, succumbing to allostatic load processes and exhibiting a sequential worsening of morning cortisol regulation over time (Cicchetti & Rogosch, 2001). Moreover, the infants in the CS group are likely to have fewer self-righting capabilities and this bodes poorly for their ability to function in a resilient fashion (Cicchetti, 2010). The several year process of increasing HPA dysregulation is not likely to be the result of an acute reaction.…”

Normalizing the development of cortisol regulation in maltreated infants through preventive interventions

Longitudinal effects of child maltreatment on cortisol regulation in infants from age 1 to 3 years were investigated in the context of a randomized preventive intervention trial. Thirteen-month-old infants from maltreating families (N = 91) and their mothers were randomly assigned to one of three intervention conditions: 1. Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP); 2. Psychoeducational Parenting Intervention (PPI); and 3. a control group involving standard community services (CS). A fourth group of infants from nonmaltreating families (N = 52) and their mothers comprised a nonmaltreated comparison (NC) group. The two active interventions were combined into one maltreated intervention (MI) group for statistical analyses. Saliva samples were obtained from children at 10:00 a.m. before beginning a laboratory observation session with their mothers when the children were 13 months of age (pre-intervention), 19 months (mid-intervention), 26 months (post-intervention), and 38 months (one-year post-intervention follow-up). At the initial assessment, no significant differences among groups in morning cortisol were observed. Latent growth curve analyses examined trajectories of cortisol regulation over time. Beginning at mid-intervention, divergence was found among the groups. Whereas the MI group remained indistinguishable from the NC group across time, the CS group progressively evinced lower levels of morning cortisol, statistically differing from the MI and NC groups. Results highlight the value of psychosocial interventions for early child maltreatment in normalizing biological regulatory processes.

EPA guidance on how to improve the image of psychiatry and of the psychiatrist

et al. 2015

Stigma against mental illness and the mentally ill is well known. However, stigma against psychiatrists and mental health professionals is known but not discussed widely. Public attitudes and also those of other professionals affect recruitment into psychiatry and mental health services. The reasons for this discriminatory attitude are many and often not dissimilar to those held against mentally ill individuals. In this Guidance paper we present some of the factors affecting the image of psychiatry and psychiatrists which is perceived by the public at large. We look at the portrayal of psychiatry, psychiatrists in the media and literature which may affect attitudes. We also explore potential causes and explanations and propose some strategies in dealing with negative attitudes. Reduction in negative attitudes will improve recruitment and retention in psychiatry. We recommend that national psychiatric societies and other stakeholders, including patients, their families and carers, have a major and significant role to play in dealing with stigma, discrimination and prejudice against psychiatry and psychiatrists.
