Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen:

Early experience of abuse and neglect, known as childhood trauma (CT), increases the risk of schizophrenia and other forms of psychoses. Psychosis may involve hallucinations, delusions, social withdrawal, and problems with memory and problem solving. This thesis aimed to look at the influence of CT in severe mental illnesses, such as psychosis. We found that CT was common both in adults with psychosis, and in people with substance abuse disorders. We also found that physical neglect by caregivers was related to cognitive problems in psychosis. CT did not appear to make a difference in symptom relief for people with psychosis whom received antipsychotic medication as part of their treatment. However, one of the antipsychotic drugs in our study, Olanzapine, was less effective in persons with psychosis and CT. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of trauma-informed care for persons with severe mental illnesses including psychosis.
