SUMMARY:Self-reported childhood adversity
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/203742
DESCRIPTION:Self-reported childhood adversity: interrelations with brain, behavioural and state measures in health and mood disorders.
 Self-reported childhood adversity (CAd) is a well-known risk factor for developing psychopathologies, and worse clinical course in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), including suicide ideation and behaviours. In this talk, evidence for a relationship among CAd and alterations in brain structure, function and neurometabolism at 3T and 7T, especially in the fronto-limbic circuitry will be presented. Moreover, influence of CAd on behavioural precipitating factors for psychopathological features, such as altered affect processing, impulsiveness and stress response will be discussed. Lastly, suggestions for translation research approaches for detecting targets for treatment, e.g., via behavioural therapies for increasing affect regulation will be mentioned. \n
