Abstract |
Early social stress, particularly severe but nevertheless frequent forms such as abuse and neglect, are among the major risk factors for the development of mental disorders. However, we only have very limited knowledge of the psychobiological disease mechanisms underlying the influence of early life stress and stress-related disorders during this vulnerable phase of life. Early stress can have long-lasting adverse effects on the brain and other somatic systems, e.g. through influences on brain development. In adulthood, the prior experience of abuse or neglect can result in complex clinical profiles. Besides conditions such as mood and anxiety disorders as well as posttraumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders (SUD) are among the most prevalent sequelae of early social stress. Current social stress further influences the development and maintenance of these disorders, e.g., by increasing the risk of relapses. In this chapter, we will first give an overview of currently used methods to assess the phenomenology and pathophysiology of stress-related disorders and then focus on the phenomenological and neurobiological background of the interaction between early social stress and SUD. We will give an overview of important insights from neuroimaging studies and will also highlight recent findings from studies using digital tools such as ecological momentary assessment or virtual reality to capture the influence of early social stress as well as current social stress in everyday life of persons with SUD. |
