Age at onset studies have been an important approach to
understanding disease across all medical specialties. Over the last
few decades, genetic research has led to the identification of
unique genes and, in some cases, physiologically different
disorders. These advances bring us closer to identifying genetic
vulnerability and implementing prevention programs for
psychopathology.
Childhood Onset of "Adult" Psychopathology: Clinical and
Research Advances provides an understanding of the childhood onsets
of adult psychiatric disorders, including when and in what sequence
psychiatric disorders begin in childhood, and how these disorders
evolve over the life span. This book examines - Studies on the
growing volume of data on very early forms of depression,
criminality, alcoholism, schizophrenia, and anxiety- Genetics,
evolution, and the significance of age at onset in terms of
individual variability and the course of disease- The biological
manner in which early-onset disorders progress- New insights into
the disease etiology of schizophrenia and the neurodevelopmental
hypothesis- The long-debated subject of whether depressive disorder
in preadolescent children is the same as depressive disorder in
adults and studies of individuals at risk for disorders of anxiety
and depression- The implications for prevention of adult
psychiatric disorders, alcoholism, and antisocial personality
disorder
Complete with extensive references and tables, this text
provides practitioners with a better understanding of adult
psychopathology and insight into early detection and prevention
methods.
