Prevention of foetal alcohol syndrome and other disorders with clear antecedents such as nutritional defecits, infections, thyroid and metabolic difficulties in the pregnant person, disadvantaged by sociocultural or smi factors. Education of women in their mother tongue seems an important measure. FAS is a timebomb. Marijuana use in pregnancy is another. |
Neurodevelopmental and social defeat issues impinging on regulation of salience, arousal, and the default processing parts of the brain as a possible focus for mitigation of the distress.
Recent work linking the genetics of OCD, PTSD susceptibility, schizophrenia, and abnormalities of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism and the autonomic nervous system are relevant. |
Cognitive enhancement strategies and teaching ways to heighten parasympathetic/vagal tone, such as the diving reflex and exercise, augment pharmacologic strategies to enhance quality of life and vocational confidence in those with first episode or ultra-high risk factors. |
Autonomic and basic metabolic processes deserve further attention in research, that cortical structures depend on the brainstem and midbrain. |
