From: Synergistic pathways to psychosis: understanding developmental risk and resilience factors
This model highlights the various mechanisms through which genetic risk interacts with a range of prenatal and environmental stressors to contribute to or compound risk for psychosis. Additionally, several promising protective and promotive factors, as well as preventive interventions, have been identified that may buffer or counteract the effects of exposures across developmental stages.
