Abnormal Behavior

In the case of hysteria, the mind or the psyche is neglected by the person who represses emotional trauma, and these then divert themselves into the body as a means of expression or escape. These patients often times do not know what is wrong with themselves because the repression was unconscious and out of their control. Accordingly, the physical symptoms in hysteria are a result of the person's lack of psychological control, which is unconscious not voluntary. During the 19th century, French Neurologist J.M. Charcot and Psychologist P. Janet emphasized that "morbid ideas could produce physical manifestations" and that hysteria was caused by the psyche not the body (1).

(Mental HealthCare, 2013) Medical Model attributes mental illness to physiological, biological or genetic causes. ( Mental Healthcare, 2013) Genetic factors suggest that psychopathology is inherited from parent, through genes. Genes contain instructions for the function of each cell in the body and are sometimes responsible for how we look, act, and think. While, biology causes relates mental illnesses to an abnormal balance of brain chemicals called neurotransmitter. When neurotransmitter.is damaged, messages may not make it through to the brain correctly, or cause injury to certain areas of the brain, leading to symptoms of mental illness.

The paper then goes on to discuss how these views affected what was considered to be effective treatment for schizophrenia (e.g., sedation) and delineates how the notion of what should constitute effective treatment changed over the years. The paper also explores various medications that were used to treat the condition. Introduction Butcher, Mineka and Hooley (2003) define schizophrenia as a brain disorder in which there is a failure of the brain's chemical or electrical systems to function properly, resulting in a variety of unusual neural twists, such as disjointed ideas, confused or disconnected thoughts, and sounds or other sensations experienced as real when they exist only in the person's mind. The prevalence of the disorder is estimated to be about one percent of the population in most countries including the United States. Butcher, Mineka and Hooley also note that there are no sex-related difference for the prevalence of schizophrenia among men and women with the exception of a slight difference in the average age of onset with men showing symptoms a few years earlier than women.

Biological Model The biological model often referred to as the medical model depicts abnormality as an illness brought on by the malfunctioning parts organisms. For instance, problems are in the brain anatomy or brain chemistry are seen as the cause of the abnormal behavior. The brain is composed of

It isn 't practical to assume that every mental illness is the cause of a physical injury or society. If this is assumption is taken for every mental illness then treatment could become confused and this may have consequences. Some can be explained by the model but is wrong assume the model can be applied to every illness. “Some critics feel that incorrect behavior (such as anti-social behavior, for instance) cannot be treated as a medical condition, as very rarely do biological factors have a role in inducing it” (Varnekar, 2016). They believe that by assuming that this behaviour is an illness effects the credibility of psychiatry because it doesn 't seem rational to place illnesses such as schizophrenia in the same barrier as anti-social behaviour.
