    Abstract We aimed to investigate as to whether psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) predict the perceived intent to seek treatment. Our secondary aim was to explore which PLEs predict the perceived need to seek treatment using a network analysis. The study was based on a community sample of individuals with a negative history of psychiatric treatment. At baseline, they completed questionnaires recording the presence of PLEs, depressive, and anxiety symptoms. After 6-7 months, they were reassessed with respect to the perceived intent to seek treatment. A total of 1100 individuals were assessed at baseline (aged 27.1 ± 5.1 years, 48.6 % males). The follow-up assessment was completed by 581 individuals (52.8 %). Higher baseline levels of PLEs were associated with a greater intent to seek treatment at the follow-up before (Beta = 0.289, p < 0.001) and after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, depressive and anxiety symptoms (Beta = 0.128, p = 0.004). A network analysis demonstrated that the intent to seek treatment was connected to five nodes of PLEs including "déjà vu experiences" (weight = 0.046), "problems in differentiating reality and imagination" (weight = 0.103), "a lack of control over own ideas or thoughts" (weight = 0.077), "being distracted by distant sounds" (weight = 0.105), and "paranoid thoughts" (weight = 0.145). Findings from the present study indicate that PLEs might contribute to help-seeking behaviors regardless of co-occurring depressive and anxiety symptoms. However, specific PLEs may differ with respect to their effects on the perceived intent to seek treatment.

    Abstract Background: The intricate correlation between environmental exposures and mental health outcomes is increasingly acknowledged in psychiatric research. This study investigated the relationship between cumulative environmental risk factors, as represented by the exposome score (ES), and various domains of psychopathology within a non-clinical sample using a network analysis.
    Methods: We recruited 1100 participants (aged 18-35 years, 51.4% females) via a computer-assisted web interview, assessing psychopathological symptoms using standardized questionnaires. Environmental exposures, including season of birth, obstetric complications, advanced paternal age, childhood trauma, cannabis use, and urban upbringing, were self-reported to calculate the ES.
    Results: A network analysis revealed significant associations of the ES with psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) (weight = 0.113), manic (weight = 0.072), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms (weight = 0.062). These connections did not differ significantly with respect to their weights. Depressive symptoms had the highest centrality and predictability. The mean predictability across all nodes included in the network was 0.344.
    Conclusions: These findings underscore the transdiagnostic nature of environmental exposures, aligning with previous research indicating broad associations between the ES and various facets of psychopathology. Our results suggest that the ES may not specifically correlate with PLEs but may indicate the risk of a broader psychopathology.

    Abstract Stress exposure leads to the activation of several biological mechanisms that have been termed allostasis. These processes enable adaptation to novel situations; however; their prolonged activation exerts systemic and detrimental effects called the allostatic load (AL). The AL concept represents one of useful paradigms to describe biological consequences of chronic stress that might lead to a number of disease outcomes. The AL index, which is a collective measure of cardiovascular, metabolic, neuroendocrine, and immune dysregulations associated with stress exposure, has been found to predict morbidity and mortality in non-clinical populations. Consequently, it has been proposed that the AL concept might be a useful framework to describe biological consequences of chronic stress exposure in patients with psychotic disorders. This perspective article is an overview of studies investigating the AL index and its clinical correlates in patients with psychotic disorders. These studies have consistently reported elevated AL index in patients at the early and chronic course of psychosis. In addition, the AL index has been associated with a higher severity of positive and depressive symptoms, working memory impairments, and lower general functioning. The article provides some critical appraisal of studies in this field and indicates several future directions for investigating the AL concept in psychosis.

    Abstract The outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 caused a rapid worsening of global mental health. Patients with severe mental disorders, including schizophrenia, are at higher risk of being infected. The neuroinvasive potential of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been confirmed. The aim of this article was to present a narrative and comprehensive review of multidimensional associations between schizophrenia and COVID-19 with special emphasis on common biological pathways. Online searches were performed in the PubMed database and covered the publication period until September 17, 2022. Search terms included "psychosis", "schizophrenia", "inflammation" and "COVID-19". Viewed as a neuroinflammatory state, schizophrenia shares several neurobiological mechanisms with the COVID-19. Environmental stress, common comorbidities of schizophrenia and adverse effects of antipsychotic treatment are associated with the higher severity and mortality of the COVID-19. Additionally, more frequent relapses of psychosis have been observed, and might be related to lower treatment adherence. In the context of clinical manifestation, higher level of negative symptoms has been identified among patients with schizophrenia during the pandemic. Improvements in mental health care policy and treatment adjustment are necessary to protect people with schizophrenia who are the population that is particularly vulnerable to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future research will show if prenatal infection with the SARS-CoV-2 increases a risk of psychosis.

    Abstract Background: Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) are associated with a variety of psychopathological symptoms. However, it remains unknown which dimensions of psychopathology are most closely related to the occurrence of PLEs. In this study, we aimed to analyze the association of PLEs with various domains of psychopathology.
    Methods: A total of 1100 nonclinical adults (aged 18-35 years, 51.4% females) with a negative history of psychiatric treatment were surveyed. Assessment of psychopathology was performed using self-reports. Symptoms associated with PLEs were explored as continuous variables and based on clinically relevant thresholds using two separate network analyses.
    Results: In both network analyses, PLEs were directly connected to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms, manic symptoms, depressive symptoms, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Anxiety symptoms were associated with PLEs only in the network based on threshold scores. Importantly, edge weight for the connection of PLEs and OCD symptoms was significantly higher compared to edge weights of all other direct connections of PLEs with psychopathology in both networks. Edge weight for the connection between PLEs and manic symptoms was significantly higher compared to edge weights for direct connections of PLEs with depressive and ADHD symptoms in the network based on continuous scores of psychopathological symptoms. Edge weights of direct connections of PLEs with depressive, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms did not differ significantly in both networks.
    Conclusions: Our findings indicate that PLEs are associated with multiple domains of psychopathology. However, these phenomena are most strongly associated with OCD symptoms regardless of their severity threshold.

    Abstract It has been reported that cumulative measures of risk factors for psychosis might help to predict its development. However, it remains unknown as to whether these measures are also associated with the extended psychosis phenotype that refers to a continuum of features bridging subclinical symptoms with clinically relevant outcomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of the exposome score (ES) with psychosis risk in a non-clinical population. A total of 1100 non-clinical adults (aged 18-35 years, 51.4% females) with a negative history of psychiatric treatment were recruited. The Prodromal Questionnaire-16 (PQ-16) was used to screen for psychosis risk. Self-reports were used to record environmental exposures. The ES was significantly higher in participants with the positive PQ-16 screening. Specifically, the prevalence of obstetric complications, non-right handedness, all categories of childhood trauma, and problematic cannabis use was significantly higher in this group of participants. A network analysis demonstrated that the ES was directly connected not only to items representing psychotic experiences ("paranoid thoughts", "a lack of control over own ideas or thoughts", "thought echo", and "being distracted by distant sounds") but also those covering depressive or anxiety symptoms ("uninterested in things used to enjoy" and "feeling anxious when meeting people for the first time"). In conclusion, the ES is associated with the extended psychosis phenotype, suggesting its potential to identify individuals who may benefit from further psychosis risk assessment. The ES appears to contribute to non-specific psychopathology, which may, in some cases, progress to psychosis.

    Abstract Background: Several studies have reported that psychotic-like experiences are associated with low levels of resilience and increased suicide risk. However, it remains unknown as to whether resilience mediates or moderates the association between psychotic-like experiences and suicide risk. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to explore the moderating and mediating effect of resilience in the association between psychotic-like experiences and suicide risk.
    Methods: A total of 1100 non-clinical, young adults (aged 18 - 35 years) with a negative history of psychiatric treatment were enrolled. Participants were recruited by the snowball sampling methodology through advertisements posted in the online platform. They were followed-up for about 7 months. Variables of interest were recorded using self-reports. Psychopathological assessment was conducted using the Prodromal Questionnaire-16, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, the Traumatic Experience Checklist, the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire, the Cannabis Problems Questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10, and the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. The STROBE statement guidelines were followed.
    Results: The moderation analysis revealed that higher levels of psychotic-like experiences and related distress at baseline were associated with significantly higher suicide risk at the follow-up after adjustment for baseline sociodemographic characteristics, depressive and anxiety symptoms, a history of childhood trauma, and problematic cannabis use. The interaction between follow-up resilience and distress related to baseline psychotic-like experiences was significantly and negatively associated with suicide risk at the follow-up. Specifically, the correlation between the level of distress related to psychotic-like experiences and suicide risk was significant and positive only in participants with lower levels of resilience. This interaction did not reach statistical significance for the baseline level of psychotic-like experiences. No significant mediating effect of the follow-up resilience level in the association between baseline psychotic-like experiences and the follow-up suicide risk was found.
    Conclusions: Findings from the present study indicate that resilience might protect against suicide risk in people with psychotic-like experiences. These findings could be applied in the formulation of early intervention strategies aimed at mitigating the risk of suicide. Future studies need to explore the effects of interventions targeting resilience for individuals with psychotic-like experiences.
