TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - The psychobiology of stress, depression, adjustment disorders and resilience JO - World journal of biological psychiatry A1 - Strain, James J. SP - S14 EP - S20 VL - 19 IS - Suppl 1 N2 - OBJECTIVES: This paper focuses on the psychobiology of stress, depression, adjustment disorders (ADs), and resilience. Since the ADs fall under the rubric in DSM-5 of Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders, essentials of the psychobiology of stress-response syndromes will be reviewed.

METHODS: A narrative review of the psychobiology of stress-response syndromes is undertaken, and the implications for our understanding of ADs are discussed.

RESULTS: Advances in our understanding of the psychobiology of stress-response syndromes provide an important foundation for understanding ADs, and for conceptualizing their diagnosis, as well as issues of resilience.

CONCLUSIONS: Future investigations of the psychobiology of trauma- and stressor-related disorders may shed additional light on ADs, and ultimately improve their treatment.
