The Biological Perspective on Disorders

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The biological perspective explains disorders through genetics, neurotransmitter systems, and brain structure and function.

Show

Family and twin studies establish elevated risk for several disorders among close biological relatives.

Watch for

A biological correlate is not a cause. Brain differences can be the result of a condition as easily as its origin.
