Description: Stress and Epigenetics in Suicide Explores the roles of stress mechanisms and epigenetic factors in suicidal behavior Vsevolod Rozanov (Author) 9780128051993, Elsevier Science Paperback / softback, published 16 February 2017 236 pages 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.6 cm, 0.39 kg "...appropriate for researchers and others quite familiar with biology, biochemistry, genetics, and epigenetics." --Doody's Stress and Epigenetics in Suicidediscusses the central role of epigenetic modifications in suicidal behavior. As early-life stress and an individual's ability to cope with such stressors, combined with psychological factors, social factors, and existential and cognitive factors can predispose young people to suicidal behavior and put them at added risk of suicidal behavior later in life, this book provides readers with an overview of the neurobiology of stress, an introduction to the epigenetic changes induced by stress, and an understanding of how vulnerability and resilience to stress are built. It integrates these mechanisms into a biobehavioral model of suicide based on epigenetic marks, gene-environment interactions, and other stressors. More importantly, it provides future direction for research and discusses potential interventions. This book is an ideal and trusted resource for researchers and clinicians who are interested in learning how the environment can affect behavior through genetics, and for those seeking the development of new methods for suicide prevention. 1.
