Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Andrea G Roberts"
Recent research by Andrea G Roberts focuses on the interplay between stress response systems, particularly the HPA axis and its associated hormones like DHEA and cortisol, in relation to childhood trauma and socioemotional processing.
Her studies highlight that variations in hormonal responses, including DHEA/cortisol ratios, can influence mental health outcomes and vulnerability to psychiatric disorders, particularly in adolescents exposed to trauma and social adversity.
Additionally, her earlier work addresses practical applications for improving psychosocial functioning in individuals with schizophrenia, exploring innovative interventions like virtual reality training to enhance employment outcomes.
