In diesem Kapitel wird ein Model präsentiert, das zwei unabhängige, nicht miteinander verknüpfte neuronale Regelkreise, den wärmeabgaberegulierenden Sympathikus und das wärmeproduktionsregulierende motorische System vereint. Nach der aktuellen Sichtweise wird die Regelung der Körpertemperatur (KT) über diese neuronalen Regelk...
Jeder Lockdown kann als ein „kalter Entzug“ von Ressourcen angesehen werden. Auch als „Schutzmassnahme“ stellt die Isolation immer eine negative Lebensveränderung dar. Je länger eine solche Belastung anhält, desto weniger Menschen werden psychisch damit zu recht kommen können, da eben diese Ressourcen, wie z.B. das Treffen von Freunden, entzogen wu...

Here is proposed a new approach to this problem supported by the knowledge from physiology, psychology, psy...
The relationship between the stressor (the threat) on the one side, and mental and physical disorders on the other side, has been well documented. The energy released by activation of a) the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and b) hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been seen as existential for survival of the individual who appraises one...
The relationship between stress, depression, anxiety, and functional somatic disorders has been well documented, as well as their strongly negative interaction. A substantial body of research tries to link these conditions. These efforts have established several conceptual bridges that connect stress, psychological alterations, and coexistence of c...
The increasing prevalence of mental illness among parents always represents a stressor affecting the biopsychosocial development of a child. However, due to varying inherent resilience factors, not all children are affected to the same extent. The presence of evidence-based resilience factors is able to minimise or prevent the adverse effects assoc...
Atypical antipsychotics (AA) have revolutionized the treatment of schizophrenia, now being the treatment of choice for patients with this disorder. The positive therapeutic experience with the AA in the treatment of these disorders and their favourable adverse-effect profiles, has encouraged clinicians to extend their usage beyond their initial reg...
