Sex and Gender Differences in Stress Mechanisms and Neuropsychiatric Outcomes

Sex and Gender Differences in Stress Mechanisms and Neuropsychiatric Outcomes is an interdisciplinary book that brings together leading research on the biological and psychosocial determinants of stress-related mental health outcomes. The book covers foundational concepts, biological mechanisms, clinical disorders, and translational perspectives, highlighting the importance of sex- and gender-informed approaches in neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and public health.

We invite researchers, clinicians, and scholars from European countries and the USA to contribute chapters that advance our understanding of sex and gender differences in stress mechanisms and their implications for neuropsychiatric disorders. This book aims to provide a comprehensive and authoritative resource that will promote more precise, inclusive, and effective research and clinical practice in mental health.
