Document Summary
Health and aging 1cc3: mental disorders are characterized by their effect on: thought, behaviour, mood, some disorders only affect one of these elements, others all. The medical model: idea held of most of medicine and society, just like any physical illness, a biological disease, causing malfunction in the brain, has symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Additives to food: no universally agreed conception of what the mentally ill brain looks in comparison to the healthy brain. All studies are speculative: an attempt to cut others out of helping equation- only physicians will be able to treat these problems. The behavioural model: it is a primarily learned behaviour, rather than physiological con ict, people conditioned positively or negatively. It is a matter of unlearning deviant behaviour: symptoms and disorder are one in the same. Biopsychosocial model: a combination of each model taking different factors, none of these models alone work all the time, groups may bene t from one model more than another.
