The neurodevelopmental hypothesis is supported for schizophrenia and affective disorders. However, risk factors are not specific to diagnostic categories, suggesting a continuum within functional psychoses.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Developmental Psychology

Context:

  • Schizophrenia and affective disorders are increasingly linked to neurodevelopmental origins.
  • Current diagnostic categories within functional psychoses may not reflect distinct etiological pathways.
  • Existing research often focuses on specific disorders, potentially overlooking shared underlying mechanisms.

Purpose:

  • To review evidence supporting the neurodevelopmental hypothesis for schizophrenia and affective disorders.
  • To critically examine the specificity of neurodevelopmental risk factors across diagnostic categories of functional psychoses.
  • To introduce and discuss the advantages of a novel model proposing a psychopathological continuum within psychosis.

Summary:

  • Evidence supports neurodevelopmental origins for both schizophrenia and affective disorders.

  • A lack of specificity in risk factors and neurodevelopmental markers across functional psychoses challenges distinct diagnostic categories.
  • A proposed model suggests a continuum of psychopathology within psychosis, offering a new framework for research.

    • Impact:

    • Challenges traditional diagnostic boundaries in functional psychoses.
    • Promotes a unified research strategy for understanding psychosis spectrum disorders.
    • Encourages the investigation of shared neurodevelopmental pathways across psychiatric conditions.
