Multiple measures of HPA axis function in ultra high risk and first-episode schizophrenia patients
Clinical correlates of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis measures in individuals at risk for psychosis and with first-episode psychosis
HPA Axis in the Pathomechanism of Depression and Schizophrenia: New Therapeutic Strategies Based on Its Participation
TLDR
New therapeutic strategies that affect the HPA axis, such as glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonists, vasopressin V1B receptor antagonists and non-psychoactive CB1 receptor agonists in depression and/or schizophrenia are discussed.
Childhood Trauma Is Nominally Associated With Elevated Cortisol Metabolism in Severe Mental Disorder
TLDR
It is indicated that childhood physical abuse is associated with elevated cortisol metabolism (5β-reductase) in adults with a SZ or BD disorder, however, this study did not support cortisol metabolism as a mediator between childhood trauma experiences and cognitive function within these disorders.

Cortisol stress response in psychosis from the high-risk to the chronic stage: a systematic review
TLDR
There was some evidence of blunting of cortisol response following experimentally induced psychosocial stress across illness types and stages, but the strongest evidence was observed for those with chronic schizophrenia.
Psychotropic medication effects on cortisol: Implications for research and mechanisms of drug action
Acute Physiological and Psychological Stress Response in Youth at Clinical High-Risk for Psychosis
TLDR
Findings suggest that there may be a functional relationship between persistently elevated cortisol and chronic high levels of subjective distress in CHR individuals.
The Trier Social Stress Test in first episode psychosis patients: Impact of perceived stress, protective factors and childhood trauma
Coping Strategies Mediate the Effect of Stressful Life Events on Schizotypal Traits and Psychotic Symptoms in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome.
TLDR
The correlation between SLE, emotional coping strategies, schizotypal personality traits, subthreshold psychotic symptoms, and pituitary volume in a sample of healthy controls compared with 59 individuals with 22q11DS was explored to confirm the central role of stress and coping in the pathogenesis of psychosis.

Stress and neurodevelopmental processes in the emergence of psychosis
Stress and the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis in the developmental course of schizophrenia.
TLDR
Recent scientific findings on the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, one of the primary neural systems triggered by stress exposure, in the expression of vulnerability for schizophrenia are examined.
Stress, the hippocampus and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis: implications for the development of psychotic disorders.
TLDR
Evidence supporting a role for HPA-axis dysfunction in the early phase of schizophrenia and related disorders is discussed and evidence that the onset of psychotic disorders may be associated with a higher rate of stress and changes to the hippocampus is provided.
Schizophrenia: a neural diathesis-stress model.
TLDR
This neural diathesis-stress model is consistent with findings on prenatal factors and brain abnormalities in schizophrenia, and it provides a framework for explaining some key features of the developmental course and clinical presentation.
Role of cortisol in patients at risk for psychosis mental state and psychopathological correlates: A systematic review
TLDR
The present study aims to systematically review the evidence concerning the role of cortisol in patients at risk for psychosis mental state and its associations with psychopathological correlates, and finds that the evidence favors cortisol's participation in the pathophysiology of psychosis.
Psychosocial stress and psychosis. A review of the neurobiological mechanisms and the evidence for gene-stress interaction.
TLDR
Evidence is presented suggesting that psychosocial stress may increase risk for psychosis, especially in the case of cumulative exposure, and that polymorphisms within the catechol-O-methyltransferase and brain-derived neurotrophic factor genes may interact with psychossocial stress in the development of psychosis.
The Role of Cortisol in First Episode of Psychosis: A Systematic Review
TLDR
The evidence suggests a role for cortisol in psychosis, although the association of cortisol with psychopathological symptoms is currently non-specific and future research should focus on more pure diagnostic entities, clearly defined stages of the disorder and refined methods of hormonal measurement.
