Gene-Environment Interactions in Depression

Have you seen the fascinating presentation at the 2020 ISST Virtual Summit investigating the genetic and environmental influences leading to depression?

Sarah Cohen Woods shares some of the latest research that helps answer some of these influences, as well as posting more intriguing questions during her keynote address at the 2020 ISST Virtual Summit.

Sarah discusses how a large number of biological and molecular perturbations associated with psychological disorders have been identified, including changes in brain structure, neurological connections, inflammation, and epigenetic factors, as well as genomic risk.

However, integration with how these factors relate to the development and maintenance of schemas, critical in psychological disorders, is still emerging.

Genomic risk, and potentially dynamic biologic and neurological changes, need to be integrated with current perspectives of schemas, and the role of early experiences, such as trauma.

Sarah describes neurobiological processing variations related to schema-related learning, differentiating between specific stages of schema development. Genomic risk factors for psychological disorders that exhibit early maladaptive schemas, such as depression, are being identified.

Sarah shares the latest research identifying gaps and new pathways forward in the investigation of the neurobiological bases of schemas, and how improving the neurobiological understanding of schemas may benefit clinicians moving forward. 

The keynote address of Sarah Cohen Woods is 1 of 13 selections from Day 3 of the 2020 ISST Virtual Summit. If you haven't yet purchased a ticket for the summit, it is not too late!
