The Biological Approach Assumptions
- 1.
- There is a close link
between behaviour and
brain chemicals.
- Thoughts and emotions are based on electrical
messages which are carried around the by by
neurotransmitters such as SEROTONIN &
DOPAMINE.
- The levels of these
chemicals can shape
behaviour e.g low levels of
Serotonin can cause
depressive behaviour.
- 2.
- There is a close link
between behaviour and
genes.
- The genes a person
inherits from their
parents form a
pre-disposition to
behave in a certain
way.
- e.g mental disorders such as schizophrenia
may be shaped by several different genes
such as DISC1 and G72.
