The Reemergence Of Psychoneuroendocrinology In The Era Of Molecular Neuroscience, Genetics And Imaging, Amresh Srivastava
Amresh Srivastava
Though Psychiatric and neuroscience research has made revolutionary advancements, a number of challenges remain as a barrier in decoding the metrics of psychopathology which intern limits the clinical practice of personalized medicine. In last 20 years a unique direction of research has come to light which provides information about the intricate connections between various findings from the field of neuroimaging, cognition, neurochemistry, molecular biology, immunology and epigenetics. Neurohormores have clearly demonstrated their role in explaining this interrelationship and therefore a possible trajectory for development of mental disorders seem to be visible. Main thrust of investigation which have provided newer insight …

Education And Training For Human Resource Development For Suicide Prevention' In Low And Middle Income Countries, Amresh Srivastava
Amresh Srivastava
Developing countries have more than two-thirds share of suicide in the world with dismal numbers of trained professionals. WHO data shows that more than 90% suicide occurs in the mentally ill individuals. Lack of effective manpower continues to be one of the three main barriers for prevention of suicide world over, particularly in developing countries, followed only by stigma and non-availability of care. Therefore training and education, especially for people, like teachers and health workers, who are in direct contact with vulnerable groups, can help increase identification of individuals with related problems, offer support, and make a referral. Though the …

Neuroendocrines In First Episode Schizophrenia, Amresh Srivastava
Amresh Srivastava
Amresh Shrivastava Environmental factors are acknowledged as key determinants of development of schizophrenia. Studies suggest that the altered expression of genes and proteins involved in numerous neurodevelopmental, metabolic and neurotransmitter pathways can result from inadequate amounts of modulators, transporters and, synthesizers. Advances in the prenatal period in the genesis of schizophrenia suggest that environmental factors and HPA axis may establish a vulnerability to the disease. Further, the onset of psychotic disorders may be associated with a higher rate of stress and change to the hippocampus. Thyroid hormone is a possible link between genes and environment. Its dysfunction has been observed …

Neuroendocrine And Gene-Environment Interaction In Psychiatric Disorders: Current Concepts", Amresh Srivastava
Amresh Srivastava
Abstract Neuroendocrine and gene-environment interaction in psychiatric disorders: current concepts" Amresh Shrivastava, MD The psychiatric disorders are etiologically complex involving both heritable and non-heritable factors. Recent research has indicated that environmental factors, including psychosocial factors, play an important role in manifestation of symptoms. The gap between understanding of those who develop psychiatric illness and those who do not amongst the subgroup of genetic as well as clinical high risk candidates in partly explained by role of environmental factors. These, social, psychological, ecological and cultural factors possibly determine the modulation of biological factors at the level of gene-expression and neuroendocrinal systems. …
