Document Summary
Hopelessness is the su cient cause of depression: contributory cause: a part of the equation, but other things have to appear to cause the condition. Increases the probability of a disorder developing but is neither necessary nor su cient for the disorder to occur; if x occurs, then the probability of y occurring increases. Eg: emotional attachment disorder grow up doesn"t lead to have depression. Huntington chorea- movement disorder is a progressive condition. It is important to distinguish between: distal risk factors: few years ago, a year ago, proximal risk factors: in the future, reinforcing contributory cause: condition that reinforces or maintains existing maladaptive behavior. Diathesis-stress models: diathesis: relatively distal necessary or contributory cause that is not su cient to cause disorder, stress: response of individual to taxing demands, diathesis stress models: combination of diathesis and stress to cause disorder.
