- Biological Abnormality
- Infection
- Viruses/bacteria
- Sz's - Flu when pregnant can pass sz to unborn child
- An - Glandular fever can disrupt DNA in hyptohalumus
- Sz's - Flu when pregnant can pass sz to unborn child
- After flue epidemic in late 50's, sz rose in population 30 years later
- Viruses/bacteria
- Neuroanatomy
- Sz's = Large ventricles Depression = Less grey matters
- Scans are objective, can see differences, therefore very scientific and valid
- Genetics
- Abnormality is inherited, the more genes we share the greater risk of abnormality
- But MZ twins have identical DNA and concordance rate is not 100% so must be other factrs
- Twins share environment so this could be an infleunce
- Biochemistry
- Sz's = High dopamine An's = high serotonin Bul = low serotonin
- Drugs work therefore because they work with biochemistry is must be the cause!

- Environmental insults
- Sz = Cannabis
- Biological theories neglect other influences such as the environment ... Reductionist
- Biological Reductionist - Neglects a higher order of thinking, treatments do not empower the patient
