- Abnormal psychology examines human behavior and psychological disorders.
- Orientation to understanding cases of human behavior and treatment of psychological disorders.
- Biopsychosocial influences: Perspectives on interplay between familial inheritance, individual experiences, and environmental factors.
- Biological perspective: Assumes disturbances in emotions, behavior, and cognition are caused by issues in the nervous system and genetics. Focuses on the roles of the nervous system and genetics.
- Neurotransmitters are chemical substances released from a neuron into the synapse, absorbed by the receiving neuron.
- Different neurotransmitters are linked with various psychological disorders.
- Psychotherapeutic medications, like SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), can alter neurotransmitter levels, potentially reducing symptoms of psychological disorders.
Role of Genetics
- Genes are instructions for forming proteins within cells.
- Genes control the production of neurotransmitters.
- Genotype is an organism's complete genetic makeup.
- Discussion of the role of genetics, including an overview of the interplay between genotype and phenotype, is included for a thorough study of the given text.
Brain Structure
- Cerebral Cortex enables planning, reasoning.
- Limbic System regulates emotions, expressions, and impulses.
- Basal Ganglia controls motor functions and behaviors (e.g., tics, obsessive-compulsive disorder).
Psychodynamic Perspective
- Psychodynamic perspective emphasizes the role of unconscious determinants.
- Sigmund Freud developed this theory related to the structure of the mind, including id, ego, and superego.
