Alex Preston researches psychosocial stress and its associations with mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Current work investigates neural functional connectivity changes in young adults with bipolar disorder in response to psychosocial stress, with preliminary links to clinical outcomes. Preston has also examined high rates of probable post-traumatic stress disorder in women’s inpatient psychiatric units, identifying opportunities for improved diagnosis and intervention. Further research explores the relationship between personality profiles and stress and resilience characteristics in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy, as well as the pathways between psychological trauma and the development of personality disorders. This work is supported by collaborations with Jessica L. Coker, Clare C. Brown, Wesley R White, and Katelyn H. Durey at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
